3. Brake Lights

Woke up this morning I still had your sweater

Helped me feel warmer in this changing weather

I thought about me and you

I thought about breakfast too

I thought about rewrites

I thought about brake lights

I thought about being impolite

Then I started singing

Oh oh oh oh oh it gets better

Oh oh oh oh oh don’t you go seeking shelter

Oh oh oh oh oh you’ll see

Life changes direction when you’re least paying attention

Drove up this morning I gave back your sweater

Left it their lonely folded up like all my letters

I thought about calling you

I thought about parking tickets too

I thought about regrets

I thought about school debts

I thought about going back to bed

Then I started singing

Oh oh oh oh oh it gets better

Oh oh oh oh oh don’t you go seeking shelter

Oh oh oh oh oh you’ll see

Life changes direction when you’re least paying attention

I thought about keeping score

I thought about fancy coats

I thought about dinosaurs

I thought about chasing smoke

Drove off this morning I left you your sweater

Hoped it would help you through this changing weather

Hoped you’d be singing 

Oh oh oh oh oh it gets better

Oh oh oh oh oh don’t you go seeking shelter

Oh oh oh oh oh you’ll see

Life changes direction when you’re least paying attention

Oh oh oh oh oh it gets better

Oh oh oh oh oh don’t you go seeking shelter

Oh oh oh oh oh you’ll see

Life changes direction when you’re least paying attention

I thought about brake lights
