but for now,

i'm gonna take this one on alone

i'm gonna be an explorer alone

of the world, of wandering, and of words

and i thought you'd be here for it

but i'm not gonna sit this one out

and maybe i'll be able to tell you about it someday

i sure as hell hope i'll tell you about it one day

but for now,

i'm gonna notice the stories going on around me

because your manuscript was lost months ago

and i can't afford to continue delicately rewriting it

when i'm the only one who'll ever flip through its passionate, pointless pages anyway
