Music and lyrics by Maggie Kraus

lyrics

I finally got around to picking up
a book I told my father I would read when I was old enough.
Counting every eyelet on the boots that I wore,
praying maybe somehow I would drag my feet up north.
And every smell of being twelve,
like Maplewood and chestnut shells,
onion grass and attic shelves - that's how I remember you
and oh, I remember well.

I'm haunted by the people
who keep their eyes
on the ground we walk on 'cause it takes us when we die.
I meant to tell you
that every time I lie
it's only 'cause I'd hate to be the one
that makes you cry.
And every pair of underwear
is draped across a metal chair,
hung to dry and I'm aware
that's how I'll remember this
but I don't think I care.

We swam across the ocean
they told us we'd be fine,
I'm glad we came
but I miss you all the time.
I know your heart is hurting
and I would give you mine
but I don't think you'd want it
'cause it breaks all of the time.
Ancient homes and cobblestones,
we found them here where no one knows
it isn't good to drink alone
that's how I'll remember this
which only goes to show,
I'm counting every eyelet on the boots that I wore
praying maybe somehow I can drag my feet up north.
