walmart- paranoia

7/11- certainty

target- home

super target- your estranged aunt’s home

macy’s- smugness

Home Depot- loss

whole foods- the kale feeling

CVS- the all knowing eye of God

dunkin donuts- a lady yelling at me in a brooklyn accent

walgreens- grandpa’s firm hand shake

and I’m like “I’m good girl how bout you? You look great!” Not knowing who the fuck she is or where I know her from

So we get there and I’m like I gotta come clean so I tell her “okay so listen, you’re gonna probably laugh your ass off but I honestly don’t remember us meeting before haha but I’m always down to meet and chill with new people, you seem super nice!”

and she’s like “I’m not surprised you forgot, you were trashed haha”

She tells me we met at my friends halloween party and I was DRUNK AS FUCK(tbh I blacked out. Tequila smh) and I apparently complimented her on her costume and makeup and we sat talking about makeup for like 15 minutes and I stayed with her in the bathroom while she was throwing up and when I started to throw up she stayed with me and put my hair in a ponytail for me. She also put my vampire teeth in my purse so I wouldn’t lose them.

ANYWAYS last night we had a blast, we click so well and we’re gonna go get our nails done together in two weeks!!!!

This is easily the most off the wall shit that has happened to me in 2016

This song started out in my notebook as a series of vignettes. They were all scenes from a life lived on the road. There is something that happens to a person after being gone for a great length from the place they call home. I am someone who craves constant motion, but once plane rides and hotel nights accumulate there is a sense that the world has shifted in some imperceivable way. That maybe the people you love and the things that you hope are waiting for you back home have all moved on in your absence. It was in one of these lengthy missions that the title of this song found its way from my pen to the page. I think the beauty of the lyric is that even in its prescribed sense of alienation there is hope. A sense that no matter how far away you get that there is someone, some place worth returning to.
