Stick Season
As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combinedYou must have had yourself a change of heart like Halfway through the drive ‘Cause your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign Kept on drivin straight and left our future to the right
Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can’t faceyou when it rains Doc told me to travel, but there’s Covid on the planes
And memories are somethin’ even smoking weed does not replace And I am terrified of weather ’cause I seeAnd I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed And it’s half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I’ll drink alcohol ’til my friends come home for Christmas
And I’ll dream each night of some version of you That I might not have, but I did not lose Now you’re tire tracks and one pair of shoes And I’m split in half, but that’ll have to do
So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad No, I am no longer funny, ’cause I miss the way you laughYou once called me forever, now you still can’t call me back
And I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed And it’s half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I’ll drink alcohol ’til my friends come home for Christmas
And I’ll dream each night of some version of you That I might not have, but I did not lose Now you’re tire tracks and one pair of shoes And I’m split in half, but that’ll have to do
Oh, that’ll have to doyou I hope this pain’s just passin’ through But I doubt it
My other half wasAnd I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed And it’s half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I’ll drink alcohol ’til my friends come home for Christmas
