We left our money in the box and set out for a town you love where something positive happened to someone else, but you heard it’s true. With a straight face on the radio, school behind and up your ass, no one can tell your name isn’t American pronounceable. We found our cars in parking lots with signs around it, I don’t know. We heard it was OK to do if you had a good grade, and I don’t. About fifteen years ago, you left yourself a note about crying in the dark. I said that’s dumb enough to put online. We left our money in the box and set out for a town you love where something positive happened to someone else, but you heard it’s true. With a straight face on the radio, school behind and up your ass, no one can tell your name isn’t American pronounceable.
Thank you Mia for sharing this with me when I was 16, newly homeless after being forced out of the closet, and crashing on your couch. You and this album saved my life. I hope you are doing well wherever you are, you are an angel. PromnightSable
