about

this song has our "finger pointing" moment

lyrics

I wake up, coughing with a sore throat.
This happens every winter,
But this year I seem to be getting sicker
Than I ever have before.
It makes it hard to want to stay here,
Where I grew up in Michigan.
Even though we're not that far north,
The days get dark so early.

Second chances turn into thirds.
Half-formed ambition begins to sound absurd.
You're waiting to be convinced when you've already made your choice, But it's never quite enough – you're left wanting more.

Will you bring me
Orange juice and vegetable soup?
To help me feel better as I watch TV in bed
Illegally streamed –
Comcast might yell at me.
Sick at twenty-three,
Without my mom to take care of me :'(
