Oak Street

should i let the words flow

from my mouth right down your street

while you’re still home,

i hope you’ll hear me

cause if i feel this low again i’ll scrape the deep end

but maybe then i’ll stop pretending

yeah, maybe then i’ll stop pretending

that things just felt so cancerous for a while

i’m in the in-between

like new buffalo & oak street

I hope the thought of me keeps you away from the beach

cause don’t care if you can’t sleep

no, i don’t care if you can’t sleep

don’t think i care if you can’t sleep

stay away from the lake

cause if you see me i’ll be skipping memories i swore i’d keep with me

in constant hopes that they’ll erode just like the glass we’d take home

left to rot in a window well

they're left to rot in your window well

some things just felt so cancerous for a while

I’m in the in-between

like new buffalo & oak street

I hope the thought of me keeps you away from the beach

cause i don’t care if you can’t sleep

no, i don’t care if you can’t sleep

when i close my eyes

i feel your summer skin

it pulls me apart and rips me open

when i close my eyes

i feel the warmth of the sun

it takes me back where i was where my youth was stolen
