The Bay (Stage 5)

Scrolling down my phone
When I'm all alone
‘Cause I need to be sure
That you took the leap
Usually it’s me
Willful and demure

Wonder what it’s like
On the other line
Where we never meet
Am I doing better?
Being a go-getter?
Writing all the letters
For someone else to read?

Grieving for you in
Many different ways
I tried too hard to
Get you to stay
I should’ve known
You kept me at the bay
You say it in between
The things you say
Everyday

What if I see you on the other side?
Are we pretending that we broke up fine?

I can’t take the heat
And I hate the beach
The sand on my toes
Picking on my skin
Take the secrets in
That nobody knows

Baby, I can’t drive
But it’s Friday night
Out of reality
You hop on my bike
Do you have a light?
Breathe in, hold it tight
Looking so pretty

Watching your hair grow
Many different ways
I tried too hard to
Get you to stay, yeah
You should’ve known
You kept me at the bay
You say it in between
The things you say
Everyday

What if I see you on the other side?
Are we pretending that we broke up fine?
