Aspirin - Tropical Fuck Storm

The last summer that I saw you

At the BP with no cash

You were burnt out like an aspirin

And I was melting on your dash

And this was years ago when Richmond

Was way out on the astral plane

But it was fine 'cause I could see there was a light up in the tunnel

It’s okay, you know I remember how you used to say

When you finally go

You’re gonna find out who you’ll miss the most

Well, I guarantee you’ll find it is not me

It won’t be any of the usual suspects, but whatever, man

Soon enough you’re gonna find out who I mean

When you go, you get to finally meet the one who tortured you

The one who hurt you worse than anyone, even me

And I’m just sorry that I won’t be there to tell you that I told you so

But soon enough you’ll leave, and then you’ll see

You’re the old sneakers on the floor, the coat by the front door

The ashtray by the milk crate in the yard

And you’re the dead fern in the hall, all the blanks in my recall

The old Toyota van I sold for parts

You were the house that they tore down

It’s now a vacant block of land

The ache I try to shake when I drive by

And you’re the dog ear in the book

I didn’t even know you looked at

And then other times, you’re furthest from my mind

Then I got something in the post, and there it is, your legal ghost

And just goes to show, you know

You’re kinda hard to leave behind

I don’t wanna go out no more, just the thought makes me recoil

It’s like that feeling when unwanted guests

Come banging on your door

They’re either too smart or too dumb

Or they’re too weak or they’re too strong

You said I’d be okay without you, yeah, you’ve been here all along

You were the best time I remember, and I do 'cause life is dull

It’s like you’re half the fucking neurons in my skull

When you finally go, you’re gonna find the only thing you needed

Did exactly as it should and got you through

You did not need nobody’s help, just the idea of being helped

Though at the time it wouldn’t have felt like that was true

And when you go you’ll get to finally meet

The one who tortured you

The one that hurt you worse than everyone, even me

But you’ll be fine

'Cause you could always see a light up in the tunnel

I got a feeling it’ll happen soon for me

But you’ll be fine

'Cause you could always see a light up in the tunnel

I got a feeling it’ll happen soon

But you’ll be fine

'Cause you could always see a light up in the tunnel

I got a feeling it’ll happen soon to me

But you’ll be fine

'Cause you could always see a light up in the tunnel

I got a feeling it’ll happen soon
