Delano - Elway

I’ll spend my summers on the motorways and crossroads

Always half-exhausted and always fully lost in

Salivary sirens, weekend spouses, or gold prospects

Draped in dimestore romance and batshit expectations

I’ll spend some time in Colorado or Chicago

Always be unsure if I’m ever really there though

I’ll move bi-monthly to another basement bedroom

Grind down my shoe soles ‘til I’ve run out of towns to run to

These passing trucks can be my swan song

And you’ll insist I’ve done it so wrong

But living though my losses makes the world so much less daunting

I’ve got nothing left to fear but fear itself

Fear is an empty glass in an empty bar

Opposite the girl you’ll never have

She asks if I ever feel like I’ll disappear

Well, I’ve been battling my irrelevance for years

So have another drink with me

We’ll toast to our obscurity

Stagger, Medicate, Repeat

‘Til our youth blinks out forever
