lyrics

you packed it all up for him
gave us what wouldn’t fit
you austere optimist
i’m full of nerves to see you sit
atop your craigslist motorcycle
kick the stand up and smile
you’d ride through anything
you’d ride through anything
you’d ride through anything
through any weather
out on the road telling yourself
it’s for the better
we made it upstate
where the bones of forest glades
harbor glowing flames
of the northwestern rains
on great plains interstates
the cornfields boxed you in
is that where life begins?
you’d ride through anything
why there?
whatcha leaving for?
the year is young
the friendships strong
the long nights spent up singin’
the shiso and the bugs
new york misses you
here you are loved
you’d ride through anything
through any weather
out on the road telling yourself
it’s for the better
