Puppy

(album: My Soft Machine - 2023)

Summer spread its wings
Grilling meat and burning out
Grady lost his mother, now he's sleeping on my couch
And I never felt loss like that, and I pray I don't have to
See him staring way out, puppy dog trapped in a small gray Honda

I know some things don't get easier
I know some things hurt forever
Hurt forever
Hurt forever
Hurt forever
Hurt forev

August was a daze, hell and heaven all at once
Spilling out the duplex, lacerated by first love
And we're wishing we could take it back
And we're learning discomfort
And we know that when you make plans it doesn't go like that

I know some things don't get easier
I know some things hurt forever
Hurt forever
Hurt forever
Hurt forever
Hurt forev

Shadow box the fear of death
Wim Wenders movies and awkward sex
Big mulberry stain on the tennis dress
I'm a star, I don't care what your roommate says
Wonder if the world might make sense when we got three kids and our thirties end
But we're all scared kids and it don't make sense
We're all scared kids

I know some things don't get easier
I know some things hurt forever
Hurt forever
Hurt forever
Hurt forever
Hurt forev
