Gap Year from Slow Coda by Slow Coda

THE DAYS GO BY
MY HAIR GROWS OUT
BENEATH THE TREES
JUST HANGING AROUND
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU
THAT THINGS ARE BOUND TO CHANGE?
STEALING SNACK CAKES AND SKATEBOARD TRICKS
WON’T WORK ON RESUMES

CAN I JUST STAY HYPNOTIZED
BY AN OLD IDYLLIC LIE?
I KNOW HOW THESE THINGS TEND TO GO
WHY CAN’T WE TAKE IT SLOW?

THE SUBURBS QUIET
WE DRIVE DOWN WORN ROADS
JUST PASSING JAYS
NOWHERE TO GO
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU
THAT THIS IS BOUND TO END?
DESTINED FOR OTHER PATHS
END UP LOST HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS

CAN I JUST STAY HYPNOTIZED
BY A SAFE SUBURBAN LIE?
I KNOW HOW THESE THINGS TEND TO GO
WHY CAN’T WE TAKE IT SLOW?
