Fruit Flies

from I Don’t Belong Here Anymore by Goodbye Fairground

lyrics

We're long done counting stars. We're counting fruit flies circling over the sink that's filled with limes we put in drinks we didn't drink. I'm afraid if I leave now I will never turn around. These times will pass like the flies in those glasses and I don't want to go. The empty bottles on the floor play us one last encore. We put away the tables in case someone wanted to dance. I should have danced. Instead we argued about Gaza, pay gaps and best TV shows. We didn't have any answers except of course Sopranos. Now the wisest guests sleep in their beds. They left before the night was over while we still tried to set Cuba free by mixing Rum and Coca Cola. At least we tried! Let's never become mutual friends of people we can barely stand and only meet by accident. The few songs we are not sick of yet are still playing on repeat but those bands will grow and change or die and so will we.
