I bet your hardwood floor Still supports that shirt. Your maroon one I wore After losing my skirt. Now, your roommate is telling you To help clean up your place. Blaring "R.I.P. 2 My Youth". Searching for what's been misplaced. The dusty floorboards creak Under the weight of it all. It's only been one week Since intimate nightfall. You're wearing ***** clothes; And you can't bear to do laundry. Because once you start a load, You'll have to accept the palm trees. The desert that awaits you, And the life you're leaving behind. Telling me that, *if we bump into Each other, we won't be ill-timed.* I bet that maroon shirt is precisely Where I left it. Before you decisively Determined we were unfit.

Telling me that, *if we bump into Each other, we won't be ill-timed.* I bet that maroon shirt is precisely Where I left it. Before you decisively Determined we were unfit.
For NM Thinking about your empty promises. Wearing the Christmas present I bought for you. I know you're not done with me. Soon you'll being playing Greetings from Califournia. You'll be singing along to the bridge and thinking of me.
