[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.
