on the corner of pitt st and eddy ave
a pump bottle in my hand
i'm thinkin about
all the time we had
and all the times we didn't have
the bus ride's longer than it's ever been
and i'm trying my level best to sleep
the lollies are warm in my pocket
my phone doesn't ring so i lock it
i've tried it so now i can knock it
climbing out at the jolimont centre
i recall your many letters
reconsider returning them to you
then, climbing in the car with my mum
that drive's never much fun
one day i'll learn when to shut up
the car ride's as long as it's always been
and i'm trying my level best to speak
about things in a way that's polite
about things that are happening that are nice
but instead, i talk about you
and i hardly know you
but i'd like to show you
how much i can forget
