29 by The Michael Character Lyrics
Two old friends called out of the blue
And I bloomed
I bloomed
Later corner of the party like I’m 15
And I can’t feel alright
Yeah friendship does it usually
But some comforts illusory
So take it to the courts
And learn that fair is not the metric we use
Hey gloom
It’s already bad
Take a good day
Make my eyes wetter
Drive to Portland
Drive to Pittsburgh
Drive to Philly
Still feel depressed and I'll still
Insinuate myself into your favorite shirt that wears with use
Become ephemera from youth
A postcard from a disney cruise
I don’t remember that conversation
But I believe it when you say it changed you
I miss you
What’ll you do when your new friends leave too?
What’ll you do when your new friends leave too?
What’ll you do when your new friends leave too?
What'll you do when your new friends leave you too?
Buckle up, I’m 29 now
Build a home, try to find out
What to do with the knowledge that things are gonna change
The spots where you hang out
The communities you cultivate
The people you see on the regular
The places you live as the rents rise up
The music you hear on the radio
The things that young people say to you
The love that you give out freely
And the hurt that comes just as easily
The security blanket of family
The streets of my hometown in Jersey
The dread and the sadness that hangs above
The red iron burn of a passionate love
Your health if you’ve got it initially
The clout you command in the music scene
The fictional futures you’ll strive for
The torturous weight of a loss borne
Satisfaction with how you are living
And a durable sense of identity
Yeah all this and more is impermanent
A fluid in motion you float within
Predictions aren’t worth what you wrote them in
Secondhand ink from shitty pen
So I’m gonna try out more listening
And I’ll take all the blows as they come to me
I’ll live and I’ll love my community
Then I’ll disappear into memory
And I bloomed
I bloomed
Later corner of the party like I’m 15
And I can’t feel alright
Yeah friendship does it usually
But some comforts illusory
So take it to the courts
And learn that fair is not the metric we use
Hey gloom
It’s already bad
Take a good day
Make my eyes wetter
Drive to Portland
Drive to Pittsburgh
Drive to Philly
Still feel depressed and I'll still
Insinuate myself into your favorite shirt that wears with use
Become ephemera from youth
A postcard from a disney cruise
I don’t remember that conversation
But I believe it when you say it changed you
I miss you
What’ll you do when your new friends leave too?
What’ll you do when your new friends leave too?
What’ll you do when your new friends leave too?
What'll you do when your new friends leave you too?
Buckle up, I’m 29 now
Build a home, try to find out
What to do with the knowledge that things are gonna change
The spots where you hang out
