Day by Day

I woke up yesterday wondering if my fear would fade
I swear I'm done with self-consciousness and stomach fits cause all of this is weighing me down
And I promise you that, though I miss home, I want to roam these city streets I've dreamt of for years
Give me a few more weeks, and then I swear that I'll stop hating this town
Don't hesitate
Take it day by day
Waking up today seeing so much more than grey
Chicago's cold, but some places make it warmer, and they're keeping things from weighing me down
And I want to show my friends from far just where they are and feel proud of a thing that I've done
Bring on this winter cold, and I'll be over this when spring comes around
Don't hesitate
Take it day by day
Don't complicate
Let your doubts disintegrate
Take it day by day

On your porch I sat complete
Basement lairs were my retreats
Afflictions faded into shadows in dim-lit streets
Though we left some years ago, I can still feel the still, humid air
Quiet, kind of zen, at 1st and Henderson
Reminiscing when I'm listening to Pavement, 'Shed', and Sonic Youth
Back there, in the town built out of limestone, weather couldn't change my mood
I grew slowly soft for you
And I thought you might have, too
When you sang me that song you wrote not finished through
Did you feel the time stop, too, when we'd both hear their riffs ringing clear
Loud, yet kind of zen, at 1st and Henderson?
Reminiscing when I'm listening to Pavement, 'Shed', and Sonic Youth
Back there, in the town built out of limestone, weather couldn't change my mood
I miss it when I'm listening to Interpol and Weezer's 'Blue'
Back there, in the town built out of limestone, you completely changed my mood

Contrast the way I sat paralyzed, movement was trapped in my head
With what Lana said
She said she'd go through the good and the bad - live it over again
Because her husband was waiting for her at the end
We can only try
My friends and relentless equations to solve our relations again
Some days it feels like it never ends
But last week I felt a thrill and fulfilled by my own attempts
And I
I'm glad I tried
We won't leave ourselves behind

Recoleta

Someday very, very, very
Far away, far away
Leave my soul inside my iPod
I never thought I'd write my own songs
But I'll let all the rest explain it all
I'll let all the rest explain it all as sunset falls
Continue play when I hit pause
On a foreign balcony, protected from Palermo's busy streets
A suspended moment, comforting
With familiar songs inside my ears, suddenly home it existed anywhere
Distanceless hemispheres
I'll let all the rest explain it all
I'll let all the rest explain it all as sunset falls
Continue play when I hit pause
Someday impossibly far away
Leave my soul in my iPod stay
Cause of my unease at Recoleta Cemetery
It’s all the same to me

I saw the Pacific Ocean
The most menacing sight I've seen
As Kelsey and I turned the corner
Neptune's breath knocked the breath out of me
I felt minuscule
I felt lucky to be here
I dented my grey Honda
And still hung up on how I should have walked
My dad said, "That's not what matters
"People are harder to fix than cars"
I felt mortal
I felt lucky to be here
