about

It's a phone recording, don't judge me.

lyrics

The world is burning
And you're at odds with everything
Feeling guilty for all the space you take up in her bed
Staring at the dim glow of the TV
It's eleven o'clock, you're sixteen
Everyone's at the party
They're upstairs, you're in the bathroom
Vomiting and saying sorry
Hell will come for you just like it did
For the rest of your family
But for now, just for now, it's still
There is a picture of your parents
When they were first married
They look so young, they look so happy
You wonder, 'What could have gone so wrong? What could have gone so wrong?'
It will be years before you learn
When you were young, your dad would get physical
You waited 'til you were big enough to hit him back
At first shove, he fell
At first strike, he yelled
Thought it would feel right
Thought you would feel something other than empty
That night, you left home
And under the hum of the radio
In your beat-up truck, you thought, all alone to yourself
'Will anyone ever love me? Will anyone ever love me?
Will I feel anything other than lonely?'
And those thoughts, they return, as she's lying across from you
Moonlight spills over her shoulder blades
As she's draped in curtains and the dim glow of the TV
It's perfect, still, you can't bring yourself to care
And for a moment you think about all the joy that's been stolen
You wonder what could have been
If only you had gone left and not right
If only you could rewind the time
If only you could escape before the crash
If only you had been born as someone else
If only you had been born as someone else
