Hey distractions, let me prove I'm right
She's in Peru til June
She's in my head most nights
Hey there summer trysts, let me decide
If I'm okay with letting go
If I'm not willing to arrive
At the eventuality that in this universe it never was to be
This snow-covered side of paradise from my high school daydreams
Where I would hurry through the night to crowded libraries
Where you had retroactively built yourself into the scene
And there are noons I will spend in Katy
Pretending that I have a Mexican family
And there are midnights that I will spend in Montrose
Drunk and wishing you were drunk and there with me
But for the time being it's past a hundred every day
You know this Texas heat gets everyone in different ways
I will retreat from coed meets in all varieties
And write a book about a girl I knew when I was sixteen
I hear you sobbing in the hallway but tonight I cannot save you
Tomorrow it will be me and I will beg and plead you to
I hear you crying in my bed but tonight I cannot save you
Tomorrow it will be me and I will try to drag you
Down into the rabbit hole of theories that I made for us
