The first time we met, it was a late October night
The celebration of the ever increasingly near fright
The prospect of trading some consumption for deception
Was the first moment that I was alerted to your presence
In a stroke of luck, the population pruned
One by one, they left the room as the number shrunk to two
Off and on, I think there was a third person involved
But that was not the topic my mind would revolve
I told them I didn't like you, I'll let you know I lied
But isolation of opinion always makes me question why
Could it be that there was something I was turning eyes to blind?
Or could it be that they were finding faults I simply didn't mind?
The next moment shared, we were a little bit buzzed
And by buzzed, I mean we were both completely fucked up
Now I don't remember the exact topic of conversation,
But I do remember timid consolation
Fast forward a month, to a Super Bowl number crunch
We had the patience of a monk, but we didn't get nothing done
There was one outside the sea of sorted, sheeted numbers
Made the butterflies flutter more than others

Now I won't lie, what happened next was a damn miracle
Wrote a text out the blue, was left with evidence empirical
Hazy memory left Zachary entranced
And the confidence expanded by the BAC enhancement
And so it went, took some time to reconnect
Back and forth we often crept, but the time was never spent
This is where the story goes from cute, to drab, to tragic
As the steam train pulled up to the station, lost its magic
Fizzled out, gone, over and done
Point 'em up into the sky and fire twenty-one guns
I can analyze my failings, I can visualize solutions
But the issue lies between the concept and the execution
You see the problem, I gave you a fuckin' timeline
From October to April, that's too long for me to sideline
Now all I got is a string of disjointed moments
And ninety percent of critical components
I'd like to think these moments mean something to you
I think they do, but as usual, no I never followed through
And myself, I'm headed up a new stairwell
So for now I'll just wish you goodbye and farewell
