August

Could this be a bad time to tell you I'm leaving?

Did I make summer come early for no fuckin' reason?

Could this be a bad time to go through the motions?

Is it like heavy rain or just a drop in the ocean?

As soon as I hit Los Angeles, it was 43

Dad, I hope that you're listening

Unpacked my shit and cried a bit

I controlled what I could, but this is it

We'll be lucky if we make it to August

Or maybe to the start of fall if we force it

Could this be a bad time to tell you I'm leaving?

Did I do something I can't change based on a feeling?

Could this be a bad time to be moving the target?

In a way, honey, we ended before we got started

As soon as I hit Los Angeles, it was 43

Dad, I hope that you're listening

Unpacked my shit and cried a bit

I controlled what I could, but this is it

We'll be lucky if we make it to August

Or maybe to the start of fall if we force it

Honey, get out of the car, your plane's boarding

I'll break it to you when you land, and I'm sorry

And I'll always remember

July to whatever

The borders and passes

The desert red centre

It's all we had, and that's not much

It's all we had, and that's not much

As soon as I hit Los Angeles, it was 43

Dad, I hope that you're listening

Unpacked my shit and cried a bit

I controlled what I could, but this is it

We'll be lucky if we make it to August

Or maybe to the start of fall if we force it

Honey, get out of the car, your plane's boarding

I hung on

If that makes sense

I'll break it to you when you land, and I'm sorry

If that makes sense
