Listening to this song when becoming distant to a childhood friend hurts the most; I use to be at her house weekends to weekdays. never once did I think that drifting could be a possibility, we shared everything. Thoughts, conversations, we would stay up till four just making slime in her kitchen with the feeble lighting from her new house (though now should be considered old) how we made a slide- out of plastic and soap the bruises that carried throughout the summer was the most memorable. How we would go underneath blankets talking in hushed tone in her living room, keeping it secret from her parents just one room away. Family gatherings where her brother and I would escape and play underneath my house, the first crushes on boys, gushing about love when we didn't even know what it was. how the teachers knew it was us, always the two. never the one. and now months, years could go by without a single word exchange. this song is built for the friends that still love each other but drifted, life hurts but it okay
Here and there and gone again Firefly juice on your skin You're glowing like an atom bomb This natural thing that you've undone Outgrew older sister's clothes again Won't admit you're growing tall and thin You like your body pulling at the seams You're not prepared for what the future brings Curse words and empty cups, cracked blacktop curling up Heatwave by midday, heat lightning on a summer night And I remember when you used to call Holed up in the closet in the hall Scared you wouldn't live to 45 The same age as your father when he died You'd say, "We need to talk Sneak out, meet me on your block" I'd sit by you, silent on the curb What to say when there is not a word? Spell broke at daybreak Light another candle on the cake Cartwheel and a broken wrist Skin scarred and sun-kissed When you told me 'bout your first time A soccer player at the senior high I felt my body crumple to the floor Betrayal like I'd never felt before I thought back to many years ago A late night promise on the telephone We'd build a house of twigs and vines Grow old together just to pass the time Now there's only past and present day I can't believe a word you say The future isn't worth its weight in gold The future is a benevolent black hole
My first "love" has known me for years, and somehow hasn't. We were both depressed kids,but I would have never thought that he would grow addicted to weed and forget about me. I miss him everyday. I miss his 4th grade skinny jeans and how he would make fun of me, and how I would make fun of him. How recess we would just talk about everything. How we would read under the teachers desk together and get on trouble for it. I miss it all. Gosh this song hurts
I think we all can agree that we all liked this one.

Here and there and gone again
Firefly juice on your skin
You're glowing like an atom bomb
This natural thing that you've undone
Outgrew older sister's clothes again
Won't admit you're growing tall and thin
You like your body pulling at the seams
You're not prepared for what the future brings
Curse words and empty cups, cracked blacktop curling up
Heatwave by midday, heat lightning on a summer night
And I remember when you used to call
Holed up in the closet in the hall
Scared you wouldn't live to 45
The same age as your father when he died
You'd say, "We need to talk
Sneak out, meet me on your block"
I'd sit by you, silent on the curb
What to say when there is not a word?
Spell broke at daybreak
Light another candle on the cake
Cartwheel and a broken wrist
Skin scarred and sun-kissed
When you told me 'bout your first time
A soccer player at the senior high
I felt my body crumple to the floor
Betrayal like I'd never felt before
I thought back to many years ago
A late night promise on the telephone
We'd build a house of twigs and vines
Grow old together just to pass the time
Now there's only past and present day
I can't believe a word you say
The future isn't worth its weight in gold
The future is a benevolent black hole
This song hurts from how beautiful it feels
i literally need cpr after listening to this part: 1:34
Grow old together just to pass the time 😭
this song feels prophetic
