i used to walk to school
but now i have to drive
i would run to the store
but that changed overnight
i could bike for miles
now i can barely get up
i used to talk to strangers
now the presence of others is too much
i was living in the commune
next to be sacrificed
gotta make the days last
when you’re scheduled next to die
was able to grab a taxi
made it to the train station just in time
got the last outbound flight
barely made it out alive

[intro]
i’ve been living in a non linear narrative, and there’s been 2,207 days of summer so far
and i dont even know where to start
if i was displaced half as far as my distance id be proud of how far id come
but judging by the people im surrounded by, im right back at square one
[verse 1]
you said you loved albums with reoccurring characters
and i said perfect
cause thats exactly what this is
sometimes i think about myself in the future and wonder if he’s thinking about me thinking about him but i try to do that less because its getting better everyday at least i think
you see, how while they’re playing phone tag in the next room over
i’m scrolling through our messages looking for closure
and i’m wondering if
i’ll ever make good enough friends to play phone tag with
all i’m trying to say is how can i have intrinsic value by simply being alive if life itself is not something i intrinsically value?
[chorus]
i’ve been living in a nonlinear narrative, and there’s been 2,276 days of summer so far
and this is typically the hard part
[verse]
it was a really clear night
with a bunch of people over that i didn’t invite
and when all the mirrors were gone
it was just us, face to face
speaking of mirrors
i need to start losing weight
im glad to be out of my house
but come to think of it i can’t remember the last time i drove home from one of these with something to be happy about
[chorus]
i’ve been living in a nonlinear narrative, and there’s been 2,291 days of summer so far
and now i’m right back where i started
[verse]
this is the part of the cycle where i let another 4 years go by before i talk to you again
and i forgot about the pictures from back then
this is the part of the cycle where we go our separate ways
i know it sounds sad but it only hurts for a few days
there are times when i look at myself
this body that I grew into
that I thought I knew inside and out
and I have absolutely no idea who I am
[chorus]
i’ve been living in a nonlinear narrative, and there’s been 2,246 days of summer so far
and i just realized i left my visor in the car
[outro]
things have gotten better i guess
but there was a time when this wasn’t a complicated mess
and jesse still lived here
and i liked you and myself
but now i can only bear to look one of those in the eyes
and the thought of the other looms far too tall to outgrow
and god forbid i have more than three good days in a row
what im trying to say is i figured out the problem is and i regret the past 4 years. send.

[verse]
the dead grass here looks like snow
what a shame nothing around here can ever grow
i’ve lived here for years and it really blows
of course around here you can’t let that show
[verse]
no matter how hard i listen i can’t hear a sound
i stare at my computer screen and read a tutorial on how leave town
as the days pass by while i’m awake
and i stare at the monomanic landscape

[intro]
voices in my closet know me better than my friends
i can’t move on, i’m still tying off loose ends
[verse]
gotten pretty good at jumping ship
and after 18 months i can take a hint
i co-write my songs with all the people i hate
they give me ideas
i transcribe the words
if i gave them credit they’d take half my pay
but i gotta bail, cause its getting worse
[chorus]
no more middle ground ive burnt that down it seems
i must be a sith lord because i deal in extremes
voices in my closet know me better than my friends
i can’t move on, i’m still tying off loose ends
[verse]
i realize now i can’t go back there
made me think that it was somewhere
i would like to be
god damn you really got me
in the same way that W-A-P stands for..
Women Against Pornography
[chorus]
no more middle ground ive burnt that down it seems
i must be a sith lord because i deal in extremes
voices in my closet know me better than my friends
i can’t move on, i’m still tying off loose ends
[outro]
if there’s one thing that i’ve learned
it’s all just a big game
but when i’m done with all you people here ill just be
he who we won’t name

[verse]
i’ve been shaking in vain
can barely through the day
the space bar on my computer is broken
i went for a walk, i left the door wide open
couldn’t see it then
can barely see it now
i couldn’t read the signs
and now its just another long story filled with sighs
[chorus]
holy shit i haven’t heard from you in months
i moved far away and cut off everyone i love
you dont have any right to be upset with me
im not the one who asked for all this lowfidelity
[verse]
when it stopped snowing
the dead grass grew back
and i think it’s your turn to ask me how it’s going
not that i’ve been keeping track (i totally haven’t)
the nonlinear narrative is over but those were the longest 2,344 days of my life
and when you have the option to get out, take my advice
don’t think twice
things will get better
but not before
they get far more worse
than they have ever been
good luck out there
[chorus]
holy shit i haven’t heard from you in months
i moved far away and cut off everyone i love
you dont have any right to be upset with me
im not the one who asked for all this lowfidelity
[interlude]
i am no longer capable of forming meaningful relationships with the individuals around me, if i ever was
the people around me are just faces and bodies, they have become shapes and colors, as i have come to only care about this body of work
i’m not the same person i was one year ago
maybe it’s not that i’m incapable of forming relationships with people
but that i no longer desire to
i can go days without leaving my room now
whereas back then i felt obligated to spend time with others
[bridge]
i know i said that i would quit
i said a lot of things
i said that i’d move on
but the feeling really stings
i was living in the dark
way back in the spring
i swear you made me numb
but tonight i’m feeling things
finally i’ve quit
ive quit a lot of things
i’ve finally moved on
but the feeling really stings
i was living in the dark
ill wake up in the spring
i swear you made me numb
but right now i’m feeling things
[chorus]
holy shit i haven’t heard from you in years
i moved far away and cut off you and all my peers
you have every right to be upset with me
but i didn’t ask for all this lowfidelity
wait, so you’re telling me john knew how to play drums this whole time?
