Graduating Steps - Macseal

For when your new home spits you back to old

They expect a swift and solemn retreat

Back to the hole that you first crawled out of

You’re on a bridge

While they’re drawing it

You’re calling out

And they’re ignoring it

And the lines aren’t perfectly drawn

But your heart’s been dragging along

And I know it hurts extra hard

Sitting on the steps you graduated from

They leave you no clue for what to say or what to do

When that red house leaves you blue and cold

You pulled the roots out, realized none of them grew

Deep enough to ground you through the snow

You’re on a bridge

While they’re drawing it

You’re calling out

And they’re ignoring it

And the lines aren’t perfectly drawn

But your heart’s been dragging along

And I know it hurts extra hard

Sitting on the steps you graduated from
