I think I’m gonna try to swim to Europe, I hear it’s swell over on that side,
you can try to stop me, tell me it’s just one of my phases I'll be over it by high tide.
It’s been summer for about as long as I can remember but I haven’t seen you since last autumn,
it’s been too long I’ve been with too many others to still have your name on my tongue.

All the broken promises fall gently down my back as I walk away from what we had,
eyes glazed and light headed, it hasn’t really hit me yet but I’m sure it can’t be that bad,

"Don’t die,"
she said,
alright, I’ll try,
in my head,
in your eyes,
I am nothing
ain’t that something


I know it’s rough, but it could be worse, it’s not the end of the world, there’s other fish in the sea,
you’ll forget about her in a month, trust me,
take a tip, make a joke,
take hit, take a toke,
let it go,
don’t lose control,
move along,
move on,
take it day by day,
meet a new girl take her on a date,
call her up, take it all back,
drop the call, hit the sack,
take the hint,
do something new learn an instrument,
go to a party, get 6 beers deep,
go see a movie, just get some sleep,
take a trip, see the sights,
have some goals, don’t lose sight,
go see your favorite band,
stay after and shake their hand,
hit the gym, get in shape, lose those pounds,
cheer up, don’t be so down,
get some fresh air, get a hobby,
cross off your bucketlist, go to therapy,
go to a party, get twelve beers deep,
crash your car just to get some sleep,
take a pill, real a book, attend a seminar,
write a screenplay, get a new car,
do yourself a favor, accept jesus Christ as your personal... crutch,
don’t lose touch,
fuck it, sell your soul,
anything to fill the hole,
climb a mountain, take a picture at the top,
take a road trip to a town you’ve never heard of,
burn the bridge, move away,
start over it’s a whole new day,
just forget about it, just forget about her.

I’ve been writing lots of poems and slowly turning them into songs, it’s been too long.
