recorded in upstate new york when i lived there in the summer of 2018
lyrics
When you walk down Clinton St
I notice your jacket and the brand you are smoking
I don't wanna talk cause that's not really my thing
But I'll stop to consider alternate realities
I think you're prettier than me
I think you're prettier than I'll ever be
You look so good getting off the train
I notice your jacket and your single braid
I'm sure that we met in some past life awhile ago
You broke my heart, said let's just take it slow
I think you're prettier than me
I think you're prettier than I'll ever be
I would like to crawl inside your brain to learn the ways
You deal with your problems maybe I could take a page
From the book of so and so passersby along the way
To my shitty job, I say at least I'm getting paid
I think you're prettier than me
I'll think you're prettier than I'll ever be
