about

The chance of every encounter you have ever had. Was there a purpose to any of it? Is there any meaning behind it? Someone can run a red light into your car (miss you jeep) and all the sudden they are in your life, the same way someone might leave it. Coming to terms with the reality of your life, accepting it.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
So I guess that we’re not invited
To the party out on the westside
Me and all of my friends decided
We’d be better off as strangers
After Megan moved out to Denver
I came home to ashes and embers
Started swiping left on Tinder
And fantasized about my funeral

[Verse 2]
I was introduced to a lady
When she crashed her brand new Mercedes
Through a red light, straight into me
She screamed and asked are you alright
So I said, well, thanks for asking
At this point I don’t care what happens
We stood there causing the traffic
And laughed and had ourselves an awkward hug

[Chorus]
Who says you can’t go home again?
It’s all just something someone said
My eyes can only document
So much before they close again

[Bridge]
People come, people go
No one really knows
Going out on the town
Till we drown our woes

[Chorus]
Who says you can’t go home again?
It’s all just something someone said
My eyes can only document
So much before they close again
