Wonder - Upset

Do you hear me like I wanted you to when we were flirting?

1999 in New Jersey

Two suburban kids scared to death of everything

1999, the year my grandma died

Disappear in magazines and your hard drive

Friday evenings we’d watch Lizzie

We’d pray at night before we slept while Mike got busy

We’d test the limits of our bodies

With your brother and all his dangerous hobbies

We were truly free, in love with everything

I remember taking in Bleed American

On your bedroom floor while we waited for our lives to begin

One cent CDs from shitty catalogs

Jill (?) was kissing girls before it got cool

To the faithfully departed

Sparkle and fade in pieces of you

I didn’t grow away from you all

Outcasts were my sun

You, you just wanted to blend in with everyone

Now, I get it

Now, I wonder about that summer

When you two left and I went straight and I went under

Now, I wonder about that summer

When you two left and I went straight and I went under
