lyrics

once again, stepping out to haunt the old haunts
passing the houses of fifth grade friends
you stop in the spot where you stop
at the minivan’s tinted window
to look at your reflection
and breathe it in and seal it in
the shopping center is lit up with many white lights
the bar is open even though its sunday but at least there are no fights
if your life was a graphic novel
these intersections would be wordless frames
!homes, yards, stop signs and stars!
the breezeway of your middle school seems so fucking small
and you check to make sure that the desks
in the art room are still splattered with 30 years old paint
in the hallway lit now for no one on a summer night
the ghosts of your teachers and classmates wait
you know your favorite one of them is dying
another lost his dad
some have had babies and abandoned them
some you have no clue as to what has become of them
and with a bounce in your step, you turn to the quiet neighborhood,
your quiet neighborhood...
