Silence.

Drunk,
Remembering Tony Sly
Wishing I had been able to see his set on that warped tour so many years ago
because it's never going to happen again.
all the things I've missed
because the timing wasn't just right.

I should learn to over extend myself
should learn to try again
but when I have, it really wasn't all that great
it hasn't mattered all that much

and I feel so much closer to him
when he's asleep
and I know he doesn't mind me
and I haven't been annoying
yet today

I wish I could make it better
I wish I could make it matter
I wish I had a Nobel to rub your face in

but I remember the days when I swore every song was about you
and there was nothing I could do
I couldn't wait for tomorrow but
tomorrow's never all that we thought it would

and not everyone's still friends with their 7th grade softball team
and not everyone believes they'll find a better place

if only I knew it would've all wound up here
if only I had known.
