I’ve been listening to a lot of Gavin DeGraw‘s first album and it reminds me of when we got our first apartment:
It reminds me of walking on crutches and still driving. It reminds me of a life I had that is in the peripheral of clear memories. I can still remember the clock that home on the wall and the shower curtain we had. I still have them even though the shower curtain is tattered and the clock no longer works, it’s still haze in my kitchen.
Even though the curtain is tattered in the ac lock no longer works, it reminds me of being more able bodied and I really like that.
it has always been me and my boy for me:

So, these songs remind me of the little boy and they reinforce that it has pretty much always been me and my boy.
