i don’t mean to sound ungrateful
shouldn’t we both be in frame?
for such a reconnecting gesture
to be voyeurs in exchange
 
we could say we didn’t mean it
we could dig up all the names
we could brag about our future
talk about our leaving day
 
we could have a small reunion
for all the people that we knew
we’ll all get drunk and celebrate
here’s to me and here’s to you
 
do we?
 
savor all the little pieces
picture rooms and empty seats
imagine everybody leaving
without the starving self-esteems
 
we could say we didn’t mean it
we could dig up all the names
we could brag about our future
talk about our leaving day
 
we could have a small reunion
for all the people that we knew
we’ll all get drunk and celebrate
here’s to different shades of blue
 
here’s to faces of our memories
to reprimanded attitudes
to forgetting all the pretense
to all the people that we knew
we’ll all get drunk and celebrate
here’s to me and here’s to you
 
do we?
