She asked if I could be a rebound
So I invited her over that night
She was drunk by the time she arrived
I was half asleep in my sweatpants
We laughed about our sadness
We made light of our past traumas
Made light of our depression
Made light of our situations
We're headed in different directions
But ended up in the same bed
Both bleeding from different wounds
Caused by different people
We share our pain
We share our self-blame
She says she's thinking about quitting teaching
And I'm on the fence about my career
She wants to go back north
And I'm thinking of heading back east
We agree that it'd be easy
And easy would be nice
We worry we'd be settling
Giving up in our prime
We're headed in different directions
But ended up in the same bed
Both bleeding from different wounds
Caused by different people
We share our pain
We share our self-blame
