Chelsea said, "I'm too fucked to drive, can I stay the night?

I'll sleep on top of the covers"

We were just kids in our underwear with our Myspace hair pining for each other

And when Summer ends, can we still be friends? I could be down to get high

Chelsea said, "We're the same, never change. You will always be my guy"

She dropped out of college and visited LA

Me, her and Clay would draw and listen to Modest Mousе

And we'd hook up in the bathroom with the showеr on

One time I fully passed out

And she made me the pinwheel from the Bright Eyes record

And said, "Remember when we saw them?"

And Chelsea asked, "What are we?"

I said, "I didn't know"

She bought a ticket for the northwest

I didn't kiss her goodbye before I watched her go

I thought of her every day she was away

She wrote her door was always open, so I drove up to Portland

And we danced to the Magnetic Fields at some bar on Hawthorn

I tried drinking whiskey, I thought it'd make her like me

And she joked that I'd become a man

Flashed fuck-me eyes

We took another shot and then we forgot

She would shake, me up a lie

Dip out for a while, come back with clouds in her eyes

And I loved her through her darkest nights and when she kicks the spike, I'll tell her

But I spoke too soon

Chelsea, you know you mean more to me than even I can believe

Oh, I like you more than like a friend and telling you now feels stupid

She just smiled and said, "If we're still single when we're 30, let's get married

We'll be haggard and old, all wrinkles and folds

I don't wanna die alone"

We lost touch

Every now and again I'd stare at that pinwheel and remember we we saw them

Chelsea always found a way to stay in my brain

Strung out and cinematic

Belligerent and emphatic as we aged

Life moves on, she's doing fine, I see her online

Met a guy with a nice smile, got a good job, been clean a while

Years just pass down the track

I played a show at Mississippi Studios and she brought everyone she knows

And Chelsea said, "You made me laugh

Let's go for a walk

It's been a while since we talked

I know it's all my fault

But I thought of you a lot

Can we pick up where we left off?"
