Across The Country
Distance and Heartache: Mother Blue Mountain's Journey Across The Country
Lyrics
Fuck yeah I'm a little homesick
Expressing a feeling of longing for home.
I thought i saw my best friend four times today
Perceiving someone resembling their best friend multiple times.
I thought maybe she'd surprise me
Anticipating a surprise visit from the best friend.
But we don't talk anymore
Acknowledging a lack of communication with the best friend.
I get it it's my fault I moved across the country
Taking responsibility for moving far away.
I get it it's my fault I needed some space
Owning up to the need for personal space.
Will you send me mail when we're old and ugly
Questioning the longevity of their friendship as they age.
Or will this distance set in, our friendship fall through the cracks
Fearing that distance might weaken their bond.
I've only seen you once this year and you said you missed me
Recalling a rare meeting and feeling missed.
but anytime I call you say your busy
Expressing disappointment about the friend's unavailability.
It leaves me empty cause you're not workin no job
Noting the friend's lack of job yet being busy.
I didn't even give a call you didn't even give a call on our birthdays
Both parties failed to acknowledge each other's birthdays.
I get it it's my fault I moved across the country
Reiterating self-blame for the distance.
I get it it's my fault I needed some space
Acknowledging the need for personal space once again.
Will you send me mail when we're old and ugly
Questioning if communication will persist in old age.
I'm working full time and I'm living in the city
Describing a busy life in the city with a full-time job.
I see lots of faces but none are as pretty as yours
Admitting that no one they meet compares to the friend.
I don't know if you'll give this a listen
Uncertain if the friend will hear this message.
But damn it if you do
Hoping the friend will understand the depth of their feelings.
Just know I love you
Expressing love and care for the friend.
