about

written after my freshman year ultimate frisbee team's trip to myrtle beach for the high tide tournament <33

lyrics

Swimming pools filled with lawn chairs
And we’re laughing in the lens flare
Asking questions like do you love me anymore
Or have you closed that door

Don’t ask me if it hurts
I don’t wanna think about it
Superstitions and premonitions
Are all I have without it

I’ve been watching as the moon shifts
Stuck getting higher in hotel lifts
Eating cheap food off of countertops
You and I and the black sky backdrop

Don’t ask me if I miss you
I’m writing poetry alone
Superstitions and premonitions
Are all I have to go on

Sometimes I do embarrass myself
Thinking about the common core
I’d stay out on the porch all evening
To keep you from leaving the ocean shore

Maybe I have never done anything for anyone
Making white boys cry in classrooms
While I’m crying in the bathroom

His eyes are clementines and they look just like mine
Would it be enough to love him out of everyone

Would it be enough to say that I loved
That week before the quarantine
When I caught you dancing in the dark
