lyrics

Last weekend, someone told me they ran into you at the grocery store.
You were in a rush and couldn’t talk.
That was the end of their story.
It’s been almost a year since we last got drunk
like we did when we lived together,
writing songs on our cheap guitars.
And we were sleeping in on our futures.

I guess it still surprises me that there are things I try not to think about.
It probably shouldn’t, but it does.
I guess, in that, I’m just like everybody else:
There’re still some things I run from.

I thought you’d be dead by now from the drugs you ran to after
you got back from military school, and I moved away with Alicia.
We’re so very different now than we were on each others’ bedroom floors
staring at the ceiling, unaware of the lives that were coming for us.

I guess it still surprises me that there are things I try not to think about.
It probably shouldn’t, but it does.
I guess, in that, I’m just like everybody else:
There’re still some things I run from.

I didn’t want to run into you when we showed up at the same show.
Seeing you still makes me smile for a second.
I had to walk away, but I never wanted to.
You’re like a photo that’s torn, but I still keep it in a drawer
because I can’t bring myself to throw it away.

I guess it still surprises me that there are things I try not to think about.
It probably shouldn’t, but it does.
I guess, in that, I’m just like everybody else:
There’re still some things I run from.

We all have pain we run from.
We all have things we run from.
Sometimes, it hurts just as much to run.

I got this album on another platform when it first came out, and I thought it was excellent. It came out at a time I was searching for more punk music. For me, it really hits a perfect mix of having incredibly articulate, evocative lyrics and inspiring me to move when I hear it. To this day, it's one of my favorite albums to come out. blujacket
