It's like when you say you're leaving
And you don't tell the real reason
You have to go
You have to leave before it gets too bad
She says "I'll see you later"
And you wait a long time for the elevator
All the time the ocean sound is ringing in your head
It's been exactly forty minutes since she said "I still want to be friends"
Once in a while I wonder
How long before I'm going under once again
How long before the black tomorrow comes
Sometimes you can smell the storm on the wind
And sometimes it's a false alarm
And everything returns to how it was when it began
It's like learning to fly and taking off
Before you know just how to land
My friends always cut me some slack
Some of them move away, some come back
I'm glad they're here
They make it worth the drive to Somerville
To not be on my own
Those times when I don't want to go home
Because I know when I get there I'll wish I hadn't left
Because my brain won't shut up and it goes in cycles
And it won't let me rest
