you always go places
and it must be exciting
seeing different things
seeing brilliant things
and it making you brilliant and exciting
but every time you come back
like there's something pulling you back
and i can't for the life of me figure out what that might be
that isn't false modesty
that's honesty
but one of these days
you'll find something too brilliant
bright
brill-ee-yant
and likely, one day
you'll fall in love with a geographic location
grown-up love
and you won't be back
because that's what grown-ups do
and it must be exciting
seeing different things
seeing brilliant things
and it making you brilliant and exciting
but every time you come back
like there's something pulling you back
and i can't for the life of me figure out what that might be
that isn't false modesty
that's honesty
but one of these days
you'll find something too brilliant
bright
brill-ee-yant
and likely, one day
you'll fall in love with a geographic location
grown-up love
and you won't be back
because that's what grown-ups do
