Tell me do you like to give or receive
Or do you like it better on hands and knees
And can you hear them losing and win
From the schoolyards by our house
With all the windows left open

Try to not see your failures ascending
Waitressing is a temporary thing

I wonder when the summer comes
And I still want to drive to your parent’s house
If you'll live somewhere else

Hood tween girls outside our house
Ripping her hair out for entertainment

Try to not see your failures ascending
You'll perfect the art of losing

Oh, what if when the summer it comes
And I still want to drive to your parent’s house
But you live somewhere else

That feared a boomerang home
Staring out at the backyard, wire and leaves interlocking
