Bookmarks Songtext

von Dylan Owen

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.
