You said you listen to our music When you get high at the gym And now I feel bad that I judged you, When we said "hi" at the gym You waved to me from the other side of the glass You on the treadmill, I was running late to class I haven't worked out in over a year And it was 8 a.m... You said someday you and I Could get high at the gym But I'd just sit there while you're lifting And give you high fives after reps I haven't worked out in over a year, But now I guess we're friends

Another morning the alarm disturbs me on my day of rest Dozing off and wondering how long this experiment will last Driving for an hour each way to hear the exhortations of men In between the murmurs echoing off the walls of where to go on vacation Took me twenty years of living under the guise Of thinking this is good for me, to help me get by Get the feeling that I don’t belong here But I’m trying to follow But I’m trying to follow Week after week sitting in a circle to dissect the text Should we really need the Cambridge Companion just for any of it to connect? Blank stares met my eyes when I questioned my dread and if it had to be real As if to say I’m really sorry but that’s just part of the deal Took me twenty years of living under the guise Of thinking this is good for me, to help me get by Get the feeling that I don’t belong here But I’m trying to follow But I’m trying to follow I’ll try again tomorrow But I’m trying to follow Try again tomorrow

Year after year you haven’t changed You didn’t flood after the hurricane Never tired of sticking to the sheets Or waking up when your floorboards creak One week a year to get away Just a visit but wish we could stay I know that you’ll soon be gone They’re gonna sell you And tear you down Never gonna afford you now But I won’t forget your sound
