lyrics

What would I say to you after all these years
I’d stand tongue tied waiting for the words to appear
I’ll try to keep it short and sweet I don’t want to clutter up your feed
Faded memories on a postcard I’ll hold ‘em close
Like the last toke
off that joint sitting in your moms backyard
Canters and Fairfax , tuna deli Hall and Oates who’d go for that
I remember shooting pool looking cool smoking cigarettes
Chuck E. Weiss playing tunes at the Viper Room on Sunset Strip
You know I still have that Better Things duet
on cassette that was left
in a chapel on a hill that you made with Skemp
You won’t be able to hang it on your wall
but you’ll be able to see it anywhere
I’m wishing you the bluest sky and I’m hoping something better comes tomorrow
