Stick Season

[Intro]

Take two

[Verse 1]

As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined

You must have had yourself a change of heart like

Halfway through the drive

'Cause your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign

Kept on drivin' straight and left our future to the right

And now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face

And memories are somethin' even smoking weed does not replace

And I'm terrified of weather 'cause I see you when it rains

Doc told me to travel, but there's COVID on the planes

[Chorus]

And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks

And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed

And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim

And I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas

And I'll dream each night of some version of you

That I might not have, but I did not lose

And your tire tracks and one pair of shoes

I will split in half, but that'll have to do

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

Here we go

So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad

That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad

No, I'm no longer funny 'cause I miss the way you laugh

Once called me forever and you still can't call me back

[Bridge]

And I'm stuck (Oh) between the anger and the blame that I can't face

And memories (Oh) are somethin' even smoking weed does not replace

And I'm terrified (Oh) of weather 'cause I see you when it rains

Doc told me to travel (Oh-oh), but there's COVID on the planes

[Chorus]

And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks

And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed

And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim

I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends—

And I'll dream each night of some version of you

That I might not have, but I did not lose

And your tire tracks and one pair of shoes

And I'll split in half, but that'll have to do

[Outro]

Well, that'll have to do
