Oh I bought you a blanket in Mexico
it had baby blue, green, and pink stripes
I was so excited to give it to you
thought it could be a gesture to usher in our new life
Cause darling I don’t want to go on tour anymore
I don’t want to play this game chasing popularity
I wanna get a normal job
settle does in this funny town
I’ve been thinking about marriage for the first time in my life
But when I got home you were immediately
acting weird I could tell you were drunk
said a quick “thanks for the gift”
then stood up for a hug
I still wonder to this day why you were sitting on the rug?
I said “darling this south swell was wonderful
we camped alone at some perfect point break
how was your work trip?
what’s wrong?
I know it’s been a minute since we talked
but really its only been a couple weeks plus some days…”
and after some pressure you cracked
and said you needed a break
ah…
But breaks are for high schoolers afraid of change
or college kids who grow bored and want to find some strange
How long have you planned this?
Just rip off the band-aid
Just go
I dont want to convince someone to be with me
who doesn’t want to be with me
No,
I bought you a blanket in Mexico
it had all the colors I knew you’d love
I was so stoked to give it to you
but now I use it as a pillow
on the nights that I get fucked up
