Lawns

(álbum: My Back Is Killing Me Baby - 2011)

December 27th: my dad walks in
I was 18 years old
He said "our trash can's blown over
The trash is all scattered across other people's lawns"
So I put on a jacket and I forgot my gloves
We went outside
It was cold as fuck

(I keep seeing these things out of the corner of my eye)

He gave me a trashcan, pointed across the street
Our trash was everywhere
So we went at it like an Easter egg hunt
Always more to be found
The wind started blowing
Every time I took my hands out of my fucking pockets
Shove 'em back in again

Bags from Kohl's and Target
Different colored gift wrap and thousands of receipts
I walked from lawn to lawn
I skipped the ones with fences and I grabbed all I could
The sidewalk I waited
(I waited)
I waited on the sidewalk, for my dad I mean
But I couldn't find him
He was nowhere to be seen
