listening to The 1975

This is for the days that are 64-mile marathons
when your words get lost on the way out
songs that go down the wrong windpipe
and oxygen is only outside of you.

God put a scent on everyone, like a label that knows how to love
and his is all over my room.

And these days are one hour long, but these years are infinite.

This is for the girls who held onto a piece of someone else last night,
covered it in their own scent
which they can't smell anyway.

I've been listening to the art on the wall all morning whisper something about tomorrow.
2 years from tomorrow.
Today.

And you said goodbye before your lips were ready to leave the front porch
and they said high school doesn't matter
but you were all my high school
and you all matter.

Canada is only a place they tell you not to waste your money on.
Tomorrow is only a day I can't describe to you.
And I'd be lying if I said 
I didn't want it 
to be easy.
