Skip Town

by Austin Corbin

Hey, let’s skip town

There’s nothing left here for us

Would you want to go with me?

All the way to New Jersey

I don’t think I’ll ever come back

If you don’t, there are things you must know

I love you, you’re my best friend

I’ll miss you more than anything

I’ll miss the times we talked in my car

I’ll miss the notes you’d read me

I’ll miss burning gas money

I’ll miss your hand in mine

I’ll miss speaking over the phone

As we both would fall asleep

I’ll miss the gossip on our lips

I’ll miss your decadent frosty blue eyes

I’ll miss the way you made me feel

The joy, comfort, and ease 

I’ll miss you, and I hope you’ll miss me too

Stay safe out here without me

Remember me in your heart

I’ll text and call as often as I can 

You're all I’ll ever think about

The source of my worry and my joy

I wish I could still feel your head against my shoulder

Remember when you wanted me all to yourself?

I've always felt the same way

I love hearing your voice before I sleep

More soothing than evening rain 

You're so warm

I'm too cold

See you again someday
