Old Friends

[Verse 1] Walking outside labyrinthian Over cracks along under the trees I know this town grounded in a compass Cardinal landing in the dogwood I keep going over it over and over My steps iterate my shame How come every outcome's such a comedown? Lately afternoon with the shades drawn down [Pre-Chorus] Kept saying I just wanted to see you Saying, "What's wrong with that?" Needles shaking outlines in a compass Every outcome's such a comedown [Chorus] I knew it when I saw it So, I did just what I wanted So, I go through with this I knew happiness when I saw it [Verse 2] I saw your boyfriend at the Port Authority Sort of fucked up place Well so I averted my stridе on a quick one He's coming back from going over to your placе, huh? I feel like I could forget about it I feel like I could mellow out I don't feel undone in a big way There's nothing really bad to be upset about [Pre-Chorus] But when I thought I was getting better I woke up on the ground An appointment or a disappointment A setback or another comedown [Chorus] As if I needed a reminder Oh, I do only what I wanna So, I go through with this [Bridge] Walking out in the nighttime springtime Needling my way home I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago I saw some old friends at her funeral My steps keep splitting my grief Through these solipsistic moods I should call my parents when I think of them Should tell my friends when I love them [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I should have gone out a bit more When you guys were still in town I got too caught up in my own shit That's how every outcome's such a comedown [Chorus] And I knew it when I saw it Oh, I did just what I wanted So, I go through with this I knew happiness when I saw it
