Dear present time
 This is it
 To all my soul searchers
 And my grave diggers
 Bury that shit
 For the signatures of the unknown subway writers
 And for anybody who's got good cigarette karma
 Pass it on
 This one's for my camp counselors
 Who taught me how to properly tell ghost stories
 Because I feel like
 I've been talking about my ghosts a lot lately
 And this one's for my material friends
 I hope that I can feel you again
 This one's for anybody
 Who woke up without a feeling or a sense of home
 And hates being alone
 Honestly I know how hard it can be
 To find yourself when you're lost
 And I mean that
 Seriously
 This one's for my teachers
 Who made me write a book report about the story of my life
 Because if I hadn't done that assignment
 Then I might not know how to express myself
 And at times like these
 Expressing myself is all I got
 It's all in my pen
 Our bookmarks bend
 And I don't know when
 Our story will end
 It's all in my pen
 Our bookmarks bend
 And so this one is for my friends
 Around the same time a fake doctor cured me of my Senioritis
 I thought forever would be gone too soon
 Until we leaned into a breeze that we agreed
 Was a leap into something deeper
 Barely breathing on the floor of my room
 Get your umbrellas out
 Because it's Breakup Season
 And for a bunch of long weekends
 It was all that I knew
 Familiar ground kicked off of my shoes
 Said the mornings are hard
 When waking up's not a cause for alarm
 I wrote it off saying
 You are my favorite miracle
 I'll hold your head up when these times get terrible
 But I know I don't have to give my prayers to you
 Because I know we'll make it through whatever happens
 Head caught up in a loss from a different day
 We all have memories we wish we could eliminate
 But I'll be fighting give or take
 Flip my life upside down trying to reciprocate
 Die for your dreams you won't even feel it
 Yeah and smile for the little things below
 Saying climb up those trees until you're comfortable leaving
 And when you leave be sure to let it all go
 Saying I don't know why
 Why
 Why
 This got to my mind
 Mind
 Mind
 Just another goodbye
 Bye
 Bye
 Ends a story we wrote
