lyrics

First date went great
Text late
Meet up again
At the park
Lose the spark
Drift apart
Let's be friends

Take a month
Buy some clothes
Cut my hair
Check my phone
Messages left unread
Take a chance
C'mon, man

There's someone new I'm talking to
An architect
We met through friends
We get along
He makes me laugh
But I don't know if it'll last

'Cause late at night when I'm alone
I miss someone who I don't know
An archetype, a mishmash
A fantasy from my past

The architect understands
We stay in touch
Just as friends
While I make sense of the void
He takes a job in Illinois

And loneliness appears again
Says "how've you been?"
I turn around and make a meal
and go to sleep and dream I'm falling endlessly

Endlessly

Jump awake after eight
Take a shower
Meditate
Take a breath from my chest
Think about the architect
