this time a year ago
i was on my way to being in love
i had a job i enjoyed
friends i loved
& was barely in school
at the time i hated it
but looking back it was the best time in my life so far
now
i have no connections with anyone anymore
im considering quiting both school & work
& this summer im moving even farther away
from any resemblance of someone considered a friend
dont deny it
this cities made you
inside & out
every stuttered kiss
rooftop view
& wasted nite
but theres no more room
in the back seat
so im pumping these veins
full with nostalgia
& its a bitter taste
this was my one wish
& im taking back
every word i said
but theres a lite in a bedroom
somewhere in pennsylvania
that burnt out long ago

When my freshman year of college was ending I felt the same way. I thought 'oh hey, high school was so much better. The end of senior year was the greatest time of my life.' (even though I hated it when it was actually happening). It was easy. I didn't have to worry about my future yet.
Then after freshman year I had to start interviewing for co-op and seriously thinking about what I wanted to do with my life.
It's hard. Classes get to be more work. Relationships get complicated. Knowing what you want seems impossible. But you can't quit everything when it becomes difficult.
If you keep doing that you will always end up just having nothing because when things got to be too much you just moved on.
it didn't burn out,
you hit the switch
