There were whisps of cloud in the sky
if I recall correctly
and the paint on my car hood
was dull as ever
and we went on like we always did

I learned to walk once
and haven’t stopped since
and I’ve spoken good English
for some time now and
I’ve had seven cars in
just as many years
but the first one is always
such a thing, you know?

and we went on like we always did
except for the part where I
finally got to see you play
and it was just such a thing.
