Voices Echo Down Thee Halls (For Jared) - Nana Grizol

Voices echo down the halls

And we’re leaning against walls

How long do you suppose 'till this one falls?

We could just stand right here with a smile

That’ll only entertain us for a short while

And were you seriously waiting for this call?

Remember when I said I had to get away?

I was just looking for something to say

Hope that explains why I could not stay

And I remember when you said you had to get away

Well I sure hope that you do someday

That is if it gets boring here anyway

And why is everything like that some kind of creep

When that’s the same stuff under your feet

That connects where your standing to a place you’d rather be

I left home being quite discrete

That I could use someone in the passenger seat

But none would I expect to follow me

Party all night, nervous tic

Try out new accents maybe one will stick

Crack knuckles and put yourself to bed

Sleep through the morning, deafly turn off alarms

Hey, it’s the summer Hey, it’s no harm

And why wait to get enough sleep 'til your dead

Eleven hour drive Midwest again

Same mixtape nine times, maybe ten

Entertaining thoughts that’s like a legacy

May never end, oh

Until the new one does begin

And will you break or will you bend

I hope you make a few new friends
