apollo’s song

the dog meant to outlive me is starting to get old
my best friend’s name will change soon
floral blueprints on the floor
and i’ve thought a lot of leaving
the only city i’ve ever known

thought I clipped its wings
but somehow time’s flown by

and I
never saw myself walking down an aisle
couldn't imagine what i’d look like past 25
dreams were a luxury
that I couldn’t afford
and now, i’m living a future I never thought i’d have

the dog meant to outlive me
is showing her white hair
my little brother is off to college
someone had to please my parents
and i’m starting to worry
that i’ll never adapt to this

thought I clipped its wings
but somehow time’s flown by

and I
never saw myself walking down an aisle
couldn't imagine what i’d look like past 25
dreams were a luxury
that I couldn’t afford
and now, i’m living a future I never thought i’d have

what do you do with a life you didn’t plan for?
sucked punched straight into your wildest dreams
and worries too
good things don’t come unpunished
think I might finally stop praying for relief

and I
never saw myself walking down an aisle
but I’m starting to look pretty damn close to 25
dreams were a luxury
that I couldn’t afford
and now, i’m living a future I never thought i’d have
