Growth

(album: Let Me Do One More - 2021)

I have been careful for all of my years
I tried not to move too much of your hair
Did you find it endearing?
Hesitance so sincere

But you treated me like a company jet
Took me a few times on luxurious spins
Cashed in on amenities and bragged to your friends
But it's not like they care
They're so wrapped in themselves
Like the news stand on Hillhurst
All the gossip and wealth
You're so used to the ignorance of the apathetic

Each time I come home
I still look for my dog
It's a force of old habit
It's not that I forgot
For a second I'm alright
'Till I realize she's gone
I guess being an adult is just being alone
I'll go back to the couch, let you stare at your phone
We'll pretend this is normal
We'll pretend this is growth

Uh, let me do one more
