about

Last I went to Walmart
Just to leave the house
They say winter here’s for madmen
Who’ve never ventured South

Never thought I'd get to 30
And still be doing this
Playing make-believe alone
In the clearance aisle bins

But I fitted out a kitchen
And picked a chandelier
Green coffee cups for you
And a soda stream for me

Next the camping section
For summers in Vermont
I found a blow up mattress
We could lay out in the truck

But I’ve never been to Reno
Or spent much time out West
But I bet that we’d get tickets
If I got these red suitcases

And there’s safes right over there
The ones with all the dials
We could store one in the basement
Keep the tickets safe inside

Cause your all around
All around me
You are all around me

You are all around
And everywhere between
You are all around me

Don’t call me when your drunk
I am not your sounding board
Its tired and confusing
And I've heard it all before

And that house you said you’d build us
Never broke the ground
But thank God it didn’t happen
Cause I’m sure we’d tear it down

See life is just decisions
I made mine and you made yours
But I still worry when you call
2 a.m. from a parking lot

Remember it was you who left me
To move out to L.A.
Ah but Christopher honey that years ago now
And I’m still kinda hurt that you stayed

I guess that’s that thing about sadness
It only takes something worse
To come round the bend
And make you realize in the end
It was happiness all along

And it was all around
All around me
It was all around me

All around
All around me
You were all around me
