Two short nights on the eastern side of asheville-

That's all it took to clear my cloudy head

The stars shine bright- for me they shine eternal

They're cutting holes into my tired eyes

This doesn't have to change

I'll make the weekend last forever

I won't forget the game of chess

Or the way she compared it to the sunlight

To the rain: we are the changing of the seasons

We make our moves until we're put away

And I'm so ashamed of taking her for granted

Her beauty is opaque

I know you want to be forgiven

But I'm two steps ahead of you now

You never had a choice in the cards you played

Remember when we were kids, with our dream of starting a band?

We never did quite make it to Japan

But none of that has to change:

We'll reconvene in letters

And reminisce on days we spent writing songs, killing time

Remember the sunshine follows rain

The cold won't last forever

Spring will come, then we can start again

But I'm so ashamed of how we let you suffer

And bleed out on the stage

Just know i miss you, man

More than i can say

But nothing in me comes close to your pain
