Hey, let's escape. We've been friends for years and we don't want the same, and we can't share space, but at least we can agree on a destination and not getting away for getting away's sake. There's no fairytale trip; have you ever slept rough in an airport in Europe? Each coast washes up shit, but if it's a shore I've never seen then I'll endure it. I'm not getting away for getting away's sake. We'll probably get asked if we're selling drugs, and we'll probably get mugged because every tourist does. You've got more money for drinks when the hookers are rough, and by week two we got used to the taste of blood. By week two we got used to the South Beach cops, dress codes, which notes get you a drink or not, which limits got crossed when British kids got shot, and which spirits make peach tea the perfect drop.

Leave me the hell alone; I'll be gone before the club's closed. Arrived as sure as the dawn but I'll be leaving a lost soul unless you sit there making fun of a friend I used to know; I will add you to the tally across my knuckles with your teeth. Because I believe in few, but she can lead me to hospital beds, foolish as that may be. We'd leave the car like awkward teens and make it to the kitchen sink. Or we would argue until tears and I would watch you sleep and think 'you are made up of colours, and I am made up of darks, so much weaker than this galaxy and the rhythms at it's heart'. I believe in few, but she can lead me to hospital beds, foolish as that may be. And I believe in few, but we would be top of my list, if I was one to wish.
