[Vers 1]
Wish I could stick my memories
Under my pillow for a quarter each
Losin' 'em like baby teeth anyway
So give me a quarter please
I just want a gumball at the mall
[Chorus]
Here I am in a place I've never been
All alone two decades old
My best friend is a cat who is buried in the yard
Across the country safe at home
Wouldn't you believe the things we do to breathe
The things we gotta just let go
Endin' up again in a place I've never been
All alone two decades old
[Vers 2]
And I'm excited for Colorado
But not for the altitude
Got real sick last time I went so I'm
Giving Mother Earth some attitude
[Chorus]
Here I am in a place I've never been
All alone two decades old
Learning different words for the clouds up overhead
But the stars are still the same as home
Wouldn't you believe the things we do to breathe
The things we gotta just let go
Ending up again in a place I've never been
All alone two decades old
[Bridge]
I wanna move and never settle down
But I also want a chicken coop and a thousand hounds
Mind if I keep you in my collection?
Gotta build new friendships, new connections
[Outro]
Here I am in a place I've never been
All alone, it don't get old
Learnin' how to cope with the fact it has to end
When I'm out of quarters in my coat
Didn't wanna leave Willy on the scene
Fig will have to learn to float
When I get a boat, me and her will sail away
Just a girl and a cat all alone
Just a boat, just a cat will be home
