A Sign from God

You look so scared in that picture of you and your lover / so underprepared, like two kids in the back of a van on the way to the dance /when she held out her hand, but you didn't take it
It was too late, when you finally knew that you loved her / And you should have faked it to buy just a little more time for you to make an informed decision / But you didn't make one
You were waiting on a sign from God back then when you still believed / But now you're kicking yourself / How could you be so naive?

I want to drive this van into the river / But oh no, the river is dry / And I want to see you laughing in the morning / But oh no, I only see you at night
I want to walk the streets of Benton Harbor / But oh no, it isn’t safe anymore / And I want to love you like there’s no tomorrow / But oh no, today is pretty much over

I keep having this dream where I have to intervene with a friend who’s threatening to kill himself
I’m not quite at risk, but I think about that shit when I’m driving all alone on 94
It’d be so easy to drive right off the road
it’d be so easy but for some reason I don’t
The TV doesn’t work, but I can’t bear to part with it cause she makes this place feel a little more like home
And I feel like an asshole, cause I can’t seem to be bothered to talk to my family every few months
When it’d be so easy to call them up right now
it’d be so easy but for some reason I don’t ever do those things

Hair

You said you don’t need me anymore / and I was always worried that you did
and even though it was a big relief to some extent, I was still a little bit disappointed
I cleaned all the hair out of the drain / and half of it or more belonged to you
but I’m not gonna put it in the box with all your things, cause that would be a pretty messed up thing to do
