Sadie

Lately, lately, lately

I remember my woolen coat hugged close in my truckbed at the drive-in

Saying, Silence your ringtone before we put the light out

We laid together so cinematic and watched our fireflies relax

In the slow repose of nightly wishes, ripe with promises we were missing

But I never meant to, Sadie

And she never met my tilted world

I'm just a fanfare for her getaway to a glittered city

Bloated with gloating dens of lost pearls

I've got her watch on from the fateful day she blurred away on her train

The gray one she spilled beer on partying with our merry-go friends

Now you'll never miss me, because you're always on time, she said

But I blocked her number so I would never miss her bubble threads

Because I really meant to, Sadie

And you were calling me so lately on the phone

Lately, I'm tired when I hear your name

Lately, I don't want you to come back home
