lyrics

Hey, friend. I hope I'm not dead to you tomorrow as you pack up your life and head to Chicago. I bet you'll hate the Midwest. It's flat, and happy, and lacking sarcasm. They won't get your jokes from Cleveland to Minneapolis. I'd rather see you leave than get stuck in a rut, but even saying that feels like an olive branch...through the gut. Can 14 years trump 700 miles? Probably not. Can I not take this personally and shoot you a fucking smile? When you come back for holidays all I'll have to say is "Man, it's been awhile." Naive me thought that word was bond. As evidenced by the situation at hand, I was wrong. I'm clearing out the old apartment and now you're gone; away. I'm sitting in "our" empty apartment and you're gone; away; probably forever. Every conversation and inside joke will go up in flame and blow away like smoke. Oh try not to take this too personally, but you can find my goodbye (fuck you) in between my tongue and cheek. I know (you know I won't understand) I won't visit, unless (you explain it to me) I'm out there on business. Naive me thought that word was bond. As evidenced by the situation at hand, I was wrong. I'm clearing out the old apartment and now you're gone; away. I'm sitting in "our" empty apartment and you're gone; away. I know I'm a huge fucking asshole for feeling this way, but still... fuck you.
