Touching warm dog shit through the holes of a plastic bag. Looking over my shoulder as the mailboxes turn into people. There are no people around. Goddamn right I'll miss this place, more than I ever thought. And I think about it a lot. Especially during this time of night. I hate this time of night and I know I'm not alone in that. I'm not fond of goodbyes but I really despise saying hello for the very first time. Nice to meet you for the very first time. These four yellow walls that I've come to know and love, they were all I ever really needed. God, I hope I'm not alone in that. But I'll do my goodbyes and I'll bring myself to say "Hello, Marlene. Nice to meet you too Kristine." These four yellow walls that I've come to know and love, they were all I ever really needed. Goddamn right I'll miss this place. More than I ever thought. And I think about it a lot. There are some things I just don't want to change.

I know enough to know that I don't know much. But I'm learning how to learn and I'm starting right now. I have hopes and dreams and things I want to be, but it's harder to get there than I previously believed. Nothing will ever be the same and I don't like change at all. I'm trying my best, we're all trying our best but it's not enough. Nothing's guaranteed, everybody bleeds but it's new to me. Nothing's guaranteed, everybody bleeds but it's new to me. There was no point after all. Nobody answers when I call. The world's so big and I'm so small. Nothing will ever be the same... Nothing will ever be the same... Nothing will ever be the same and I don't like change at all.

Up the corporate ladder, or up the stairs. We're not getting anywhere. Learn to love the false reality of it all. Sit and wait for our house of cards to fall. On this couch, in this bedroom, in this house with all my friends. We laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and I don't want it to end. We're growing up. I hear that things are going to change. Time's not slow enough. Everything is prearranged. And we'll sing along like it's not our song if we know the words.
