The Sheraton Hotel's blinking S
You were under it waiting
The scar on your knee from when you were a kid
Out ice skating
The bubbling laugh, like a bullfrog,
you learned from your Mom
Holding back all of your sadness
Until it explodes like a bomb
You learned that from your Mom
Spread eagle, short skirt in bloom
Like a Christmas tree topper
Air mattress in a room already stripped
Of its copper
Stripped down to sweatpants and cannonballed
Into the pool
Then you dived in after me
We both let our bodies cool

Scanning Google Earth for the house where you grew up
Scanning Google Earth for the house where you grew up
Scanning for an eyehole in your mask, some foothold
So impatient, so unkind, and doomed to fail
Forwarding you articles on cheap vacation spots
Forwarding you articles on cheap vacation spots
"Things to Do in New York for Free!"
You ask, "Do you live to shame me?"
So impatient, so unkind, and doomed to fail
Crying over deadbeats who left you high n' dry
Crying over deadbeats who left you high n' dry
And I ask why you still care
You say, "This is going nowhere."
So impatient, so unkind, and doomed to fail

Sleep in 'til nine
Keep your eyes closed until the sunshine blinds you
Your curtain's twisted
Stare at it all day, but you won't fix it
Record some snare
You're taking care of yourself this year
Winnow and grow
Recall the things you know: there's crystals in the clouds
There's moats of magma flowing down below
Delete the snare
You're taking care of yourself this year
There are plants that look like rocks until they bloom for all to see
There are rocks that ride the waves for years until they reach the shore
Just to be thrown back into the sea
