Have you seen the world, son?

What if I told you, you could.

We were in high school

when you signed your life away

That's how I saw it

That's how I called it

Anyway

I scoffed and I railed against you

Insulted your intelligence

Long periods of silence

Your beg me to talk

I was angry with you

But mostly I was afraid

You'd come back in a box

As time passed my

idiotic ideology

Faded as quickly as it had come

And I began to feel a deep lust

For your destiny

In love with the sea

Five years later

And I cringe when I think

Of the way I treated you

It took me a world of time

But I now realize why you left this city.
