Julie Will Jump The Broom

Met her at my job, a day I wasn’t booked for
Glad I had been there, glad that we met
I saw her pre-work with a Snapple in hand
And a smirk at her assumed kindness
Just declining a bum but I thought it was grandest
Message event the man was ever to get
But I was glad to be there, glad to have seen it
And glad that the woman was around to receive this
Anonymous compliment from a minimum wage thrift store
Merchant person, hurtling some talk about albums
She was vaguely Seattle, Kill Rock Stars 7-inches
Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, all those metal digits
Binary code, grooves, rubber had purpose
And yes, I believe she’s a good person
Broom jumping and all, she would fall with another
But yes, I believe it can feel certain
I have a girl that loves me and it’s easy to agree with
So when I heard the news that Julie came to me with
I probably had my shot, it was just the wrong season
Now she’ll jump the broom with that man with the reasons
I once got a letter about her, me and garden weddings
It was her business, she’s out with harder settings
Now she’s a month pregnant and happy with pills
So the baby stays up, she’ll be happier still
With a man who fucked up and lucked out
Life’s crazy, my life’s lazy with this haze, red-violet thick
And I’ll always stay the same, forced to grow up quick
Fast track speeding ticket, I’m not payin’ it
Julie, thanks for relaying it
I guarantee to never be transcendent enough, I’m just sayin’ shit

Maybe in a different life
