After Graduation Interlude

[Verse]
Pictures on the wall, pictures on the ceiling
Paint a paint a picture, fuck a filter, I need feeling
I'm searchin for answers, they evasive
I'm tryna sail away, waylaid cause I've got anchors
"Please come home," she whispers
Been a while since I been back
My friends, they call out my name
It's been a while since I've been that
Eli from knee-high, with a full name no concat
Text me, don't text back
Call me, don't respond back
When I'm out here all alone, feels like the ocean is my home
And when I remind of what's left behind
I start to divine and then I miss home
Should I go back where I came from?
Even though I ain't the same one?
And will they remember my name, the son who left four years ago?
And if it ain't home, then where will I go?
And if I return, will anyone know?
Or will I be facing these crowds where I'm faceless, the shell of a boy long ago?
I've never been scared of the future
When I was sure of my station
But now I'm staring at the stars
Cause nothing's certain after graduation

[Outro: Childish Gambino]
...after college
You graduate and you're just like "so I'm not going back there"? You know, you're just like...
It's just, it's a recurring theme that I feel like... is in life
Like, life is just like learning how to let go
