Oconee

I realized
for us to end up in the same place
is literally impossible
not one way we can go
So Oconee, enjoy this last time
of my return
though I will leave again

Cuz it takes a lot of you, you know
for me to do this
but from what i see
you smile and shout and sing just like me
Plus I love you so
in fact I feel torn and exhausted
But I might just spare this one
for some reason I don’t know

I may say all of the promises I’ll try to keep
but breaking them was why we got to meet
and you have long been special to me
So oconee let’s head to the ocean
I’ve got no choice still I’m uncertain

Cuz it takes a lot for me to feel ecstasy
or simply chocolate and caffeine
and you make me feel
as if I’ve always been invincible
Plus I love here so much more than New Jersey
though it’s neither your justice nor metropolis
So I might call it my own
for some reason left unknown
