Just off of El Camino,
On the corner of Ponderosa,
I had my first kiss, it felt fake
But I had to make the most of
It.

Sipping milk tea with my friends,
Austin looked at me and said
“Ain’t this shit?”
And I said sure, but it was
Pretty good.

We passed by it on the way
To my graduation day,
You didn’t have to come
But you did
Anyway.

Oh we wrote stories
In my parents’ living room,
On my grandma’s old piano,
And the Takamine guitar you always
Brought.

I really wish that I had brought you
To that corner where I won
My first crane prize,
And where I made most of my
Friends.

The corner I was passing,
Now 10 years ago, in that car,
Where I had hoped
That I could kill
Myself.

But it’s alright.
It’s alright.
It’s alright.
It’s okay.

Cuz my heart was
A Ponderosa seed.
Ponderosa seed.

And we were seabound.
We were seabound.

8:27[pm], June 22nd Summer of “12.
We made a decision that would surely put us through hell.
Yeah, it seemed so simple, it seemed like nothing at all.
But embracing this fantasy was our past lives’ curtain call.

It started with the mare in the moon, and the wedding too.
It wasn’t just a phase, just a doorway to another view.
It was the dragon in the mirror and the dream that he had fought.
That revealed a better life we could nurture, No Matter What.
