about

While I was working on Dreamboat, I was thinking about both of my late grandma’s - one of whom had just died of cancer. Grandparent relationships can be special, and I was really lucky to have that, which came out in this song. I also talk about moving and starting over - something my family did a lot when I was a kid. It leaves an imprint on you, but can also be a fresh start, which is why I thought it would make for a perfect closer.

lyrics

Sidewalk smells like watermelon
where grandma said I’ll go to hell and
I have never been so jealous
of ordinary names

Too young to turn down a kiss in the kitchen
too poor to afford a rotisserie chicken
I catch and release a friend from a movie
I catch and release a friend from a book
I’ll be someone else next time we move

Grandma found a tape of standup
and she won’t tell me when the end is
she says I’ll never understand it
she says I’ll never understand it

Too young to hold down a job at the Target
too poor to afford a ticket for parking
I catch and release a friend from a movie
I catch and release a friend from a book
I’ll be someone else next time we move

I’ll be someone else
she’ll be someone else
and you’ll be someone else too
