So you're taking a plane, summer vacation
Have a safe trip, and I'll see you soon
And it's no big deal but it's just like me
to feel something like crying coming on;
I guess I'm just drained from losing my friends
even if I know you'll be back again
I'm so grateful; but it won't be the same
when you come back, you'll take a new turn
when you come back, I'll walk a new road
I'm just getting round to discovering
the full extent of my absurdities
and I'm scared I can't change enough in time
to face the changes toppling on my life
all I've got is earnestness
but after never, there is less
so I'm trying, and I won't be the same
I'm sorry I have to be so strange
if my mind's clattering, it's just the trains.
