if there were words

I dunno what I was expecting. But the phrase “I’d rather be friends” still stings as much as ever.

It’s weird how my temperament has drastically changed over time. I really think I was insane when I was younger. A lot of memories I have from earlier years were angry ones involving slamming doors, having yelling fights with my mom and sister, or beating up my brother. And the hinges on my bedroom door are permanently messed up from slamming the door so much. Yay, short-fused redheads.

I still want to be able to cover this. I’ve sung it a plethora of times in my car, so I’m ready, world.

In The Backseat - Arcade Fire

I like the peace

In the backseat

I don’t have to drive

I don’t have to speak

I can watch the countryside

And I can fall asleep

  

My family tree’s

Losing all its leaves

Crashing towards the driver’s seat

The lightning bolt made enough heat

To melt the street beneath your feet

   

Alice died

In the night

I’ve been learning to drive

My whole life

My whole life

I’ve been learning
