Neighborhood Lyrics

The greatest act of self-advocacy

Was when I learned to pull the bus cord when I was 13

The sign lit up when I wanted it to stop

I'd get out and walk around until the next one picked me up

I've been all over

But all I really want

Is to be back inside the Walgreens in my Packers sweatshirt

My brother drove me down there

To walk around the aisles

To buy stocking stuffers, things we don't need, but won't admit it now

I know I knew it then

That it would always end

That Jack and Ben would move out

Jack went rogue and Ben went south

No more fires in the willow tree

No almost arson felony

No more joyriding in Kim's car

No more sneaking into Harper

I'd do it all again

But it would have to be different

The first time I heard "Fall in Line"

Was the first time a song made me feel like I had pollen in my eyes

I know I'm not supposed to say that anymore

I just hope that you and your wife have the love you both deserve

And you feel safe

Because my car's parked in your state

But I've learned to recognize the feeling of giving myself away

So I can stop it before it's too late

Alex swam across the lake with Juno on his head

That moment it was perfect but not quite right with me inside it

Annie, Emmy they are thriving

Stayed close to home and stayed exciting

There's no one in the kitchen

Just my mom and she is watching CNN

My dad should be home soon, been on the mountain all afternoon

Cubby's life almost was different cause he thought he got someone pregnant

I know I knew it then, that it would always end
