Medical Center Parking Lot / Will We Ever

(album: Theo Zumm - 2019)

We'll ride bikes in circles in the medical center parking lot
This twinkle in my eye at night time means that I love you a lot
For now
And I don't see how something like that could ever fade away

It's been a trying summer
Nobody could argue otherwise
But now autumn leaves they start to fall
And I turn my face up to the sky for a sign
Can't say I find much but Mars is beautiful tonight

I wipe out on my bicycle as we turn down towards the tracks
Get back up, say I'm okay, now there's no turning back
To Chicago, Cincinnati, yesterday
Maybe even La Porte

We ride down to the old warehouses
I think they've lost all of their charm
Because of the money there
But an ancient tree still stretches out its arms
Towards the sky
And I wonder why rich people always tear down the most beautiful things
But airplanes aren't the only things with wings

A bat swoops over there
We all hug in the middle of this beautiful night air
A pact doesn't mean a thing but I don't care
What matters is for all of us just to be there

And will we ever feel that way again?
Like our parts were made for the body that we're building
Like we all showed up in this town for a reason
Will we ever be able to call one another friend
Without just wondering when it's gonna fall apart again?

Well, past few months, they've really put us to the test
And now all I can say is I sure wish you the best
On that bus ride to La Porte, or that airplane to New York
The best books of our lives have not been written yet
