Summer Mixtape

You want to live forever

Or at least as long

As anyone remembers

But that's rapidly passing

Life's just TV and dinners and kicking and screaming

Rule breaking and dad makes you tired

Broke your nose in the deep end

Your classmates all laughed

Your whole walk home to dinner

They stole our lunches and wrote in margins

Of books that they’ll never love you

And they never found a body

So I know that when you ran away

You went to all the places you promised we’d go

But you never came home for dinner
