I remember when I first moved into Paola Drive
coughing over the bridge to hide watery eyes
twenty four and wise (or so I said to myself)
so I said to myself
it’ll get better and it’ll get worse
nothing you haven’t done before
it’ll be different but it’ll pick up
and guess what, you’ll do it again
I remember when I first pulled into that Winding drive
the water tastes different here and the sun sets on the wrong side
twenty five and wild, and suddenly untied
and so I said to myself
it’ll get better and it’ll get worse
nothing you haven’t done before
it’ll be different but it’ll pick up
and guess what you’ll do it again
and guess what you’ll do it again
every line I see
on the road or around my eyes
every copied key
another turn to realize
it got better and it got worse
nothing I hadn't done before
it was different but it picked up
And guess what, I’ll do it again now
guess what, I’ll do it again now
guess what, I’ll do it again
