When I was just a little boy
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be happy
It's our anniversary
I leave it ajar
And go outside
To look at the driveway stars
The crickets are chirping
They stop at my step
I stop my step
And they start up again
ย
It's our anniversary and the bullfrogs
And everything that can sing is singing
Its mating song
ย
The soil is steaming
Grass is swooning
Guns or fireworks are popping
Down in the town
A woman is running
A man jumps up and down
ย
This is our anniversary and you've hidden my keys
This is one anniversary you're spending with me
ย
I slide in the front seat
The driver's side
To hotwire and hightail crosses my mind
But still in the driveway
Fixed like the stars
I flip on the headlights
And go back inside
ย
The climates controlled
While the battery dies
Clipping the wings of your morning flight
ย
This day is ending
Some form of excess
Pants around ankles
Too weak to fully undress
Its our anniversary
A celebration of
And heres to next year
Maybe youll join me in my car
We'll drive together
But not too far
ย
We are far from flowers
Cut and dried
So let us thrive, thrive, thrive
Just like the weeds
We curse sometimes
ย
