The One About Distance
Journey Through Departure: Embracing Solitude
Lyrics
Remember then
Reflecting on the past
Before we left
Before departing
We all knew when we'd see each other next
Aware of the next meeting
I don't know
Uncertainty about the future
I don't know
-What I thought
Uncertain thoughts
Remember me
Requesting remembrance
In NYC
Referencing NYC
No one to call so I don't speak
Isolation, no one to call
I don't know
Continued uncertainty
There was something in the way
Mysterious obstacle
Yeah
-Please wait outside
Waiting outside
I only tried
Attempted communication
To call your phone
Persistence in reaching out
Like ten damn times
-You know
Expressing uncertainty
I'm just not sure
-Two weeks after last year
Temporal reference, questioning absence
So where'd you all go
-Oh no I'm good alone
Content with solitude, reluctance to initiate contact
I'm not here to text first
-See you when I'm home
Anticipation of reunion
Forget about me
Desire to be forgotten
I smell like weed
Reference to personal scent
I got not money my friends buy me drinks
Financial dependency on friends
I don't know I was trying to get paid
Ambiguous motives for earning
Yeah
Waiting again
Please wait outside
-Hope you don't mind
Hope for understanding, cutting ties
Threw some dead weight
-And cut some ties
Continued uncertainty
You know
-I'm just not sure
Temporal reference, questioning absence
Two weeks after last year
-So where'd you all go
Content with solitude
Oh no I'm good alone
Introverted communication preference
I'm not here to text first
-See you when I'm home
Anticipation of reunion
You know
Continued uncertainty
I'm just not sure
-Two weeks after last year
-So where'd you all go
Content with solitude
Oh no I'm fine alone
Resisting connection
You won't get that call back
Rejecting callbacks
So leave me alone
Desire for solitude
Oh my god
Reflection on memories, change, and growth
Open your yearbook
-Am I still inside
-Oh my god
-You'll probably sell yours
-Because I signed
-Oh my god
-You still in bathrooms
-You still get high
-Oh my god
-You watched me grow up
-Won't watch me die
-People come in seasons
Comparing people to seasons and illnesses
But so does the fucking flu
