lyrics

(one two three four!)

Somebody posted the group photo from that summer, all nine of us
I'm at the edge, half out of frame, which is on-brand
Everyone tagged everyone and nobody tagged me
(tagged me!)
Which is not malice, it's just that I'm half out of frame

I zoomed in on my own face for a while (for a while)
Looking for the exact moment I stopped being in the middle

Group photo!
(photo, photo)
Nine people and I'm the one they had to crop
Group photo!
Same summer, same beach, entirely different memory

I saved it. Obviously I saved it. It's my phone background.
Not as a wound, as a fact, as a sort of receipt
Everyone in that picture is doing fine and so am I
(so am I!)
That's the annoying ending nobody wants in a punk song

I could just ask them. Any of them. Message the group.
"Hey, what happened?"
Three years I've had that typed. Three years.
(BAND EXPLODES)
