lyrics

just a fictional object of role-model dreams
hiding my eyes from that self-made marquee
always caught in the spin of my own inertia
i am fully aware of each of my flaws

i'll put my back in to it learn to love the burden
have only good days from now on

but please don't ask me to save you
i can barely keep up with myself
if you give me your crown i'll only let you down
so trust me kid, it's just as well

I’m just glad to see you on your way

you've been staging an exit since before we met
running from the weather every chance you'd get
i can't blame you for not sticking around
you're the only good thing to ever come from this town

you taught me to believe in endings
and only good news from now on

but making plans makes me anxious
the dread of someone else relying on me
so i've filled up my blood with that reckless self love
under a steady rain with nowhere to be

I’m just glad to see you on your way

connected computers, eyes on the future, you were my friend
saying we'll be close when we're old and each time before you go
made me promise i won't die before we talk again

so let the weeds grow baby
until the wildflowers are ten-feet tall
i'm glad you're finally free but it's hard to leave
when you were never really here at all

I’m just glad I got to see you on your way
I’m just glad to see you on your way

it's not often that I listen to music and have to fully stop what I'm doing to go cry in private. I love this album beyond words. banjoey
