nikhil - Guava Lyrics

You used to have mellow dreams
You'd push a Civic in suburbia
Upstate California
You wouldn't wear your demons on your sleeve
Then you'd wonder why they show up in your sleep
Wondering "what's happening to me?"
Is that how it's supposed to be?

You got lost along your way
You went and turned our room into a war zone
Our bed was Kuwait in '91
You were born in 1998
On Friday the 13th
I always used to wonder what that means
But now I think that I finally see

Rotting
Decaying fantasies
Of what you used to mean to me
Reminds me
Of that time we
Sat under the guava tree
And you asked me
"Will it ever quit raining?"

You wanted to go to Mexico
You said that you'd go swimming with the sharks
And go skinny dipping after dark
Now we can't even sit down face to face
Remember when I used to pick your brain?
Remember when we acted like our age?
Who would've thought it was just a phase?

Why can't you look me in the eyes?
You used to dive in them like abyss
Now you're parasitic like anglerfish
You held my hand through many moons
Thought you'd hold them til my fingers start to prune
Now you're gone and to tell you the truth
I've got nothing left to lose

Rotting
Decaying fantasies
Of what you used to mean to me
Reminds me
Of that time we
Sat under the guava tree
And you asked me
"Will it ever quit raining?"

We had mellow dreams
Two kids and a swimming pool
Raise them on Blond and King Krule
We would've been on the PTA
Date night every Friday, plan a yearly vacay
Finna do it our way
Until you threw it all away

Rotting
Decaying fantasies
Reminds me
Of that time we
Sat under the guava tree
And you told me
"It'll never stop raining"
