I drove down to the beach to see my best friend
and we talked awhile on the frozen seats and I said
if I lived here I'd always be writing poetry
and we watched the water pull the summer rocks away
Tell me Emily why do people change and become who they
never wanted to be
I just want to hear you sing so badly it hurts but you've become quiet just like the birds
When I drive in my car why is it so hard to sing the words to familiar songs
I think it's 'cause I take them all so seriously
It feels like something is stealing oxygen from me
