Stick Season
[Intro]
Take two

[Verse 1]
As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined
You must have had yourself a change of heart like
Halfway through the drive
'Cause your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign
Kept on drivin' straight and left our future to the right
And now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face
And memories are somethin' even smoking weed does not replace
And I'm terrified of weather 'cause I see you when it rains
Doc told me to travel, but there's COVID on the planes

[Chorus]
And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim
And I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas
And I'll dream each night of some version of you
That I might not have, but I did not lose
And your tire tracks and one pair of shoes
I will split in half, but that'll have to do

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Here we go
So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad
That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad
No, I'm no longer funny 'cause I miss the way you laugh
Once called me forever and you still can't call me back

[Bridge]
And I'm stuck (Oh) between the anger and the blame that I can't face
And memories (Oh) are somethin' even smoking weed does not replace
And I'm terrified (Oh) of weather 'cause I see you when it rains
Doc told me to travel (Oh-oh), but there's COVID on the planes

[Chorus]
And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim
I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends—
And I'll dream each night of some version of you
That I might not have, but I did not lose
And your tire tracks and one pair of shoes
And I'll split in half, but that'll have to do

[Outro]
Well, that'll have to do
