lyrics

I resolved to head to Cache Valley
In spring
I hoped my friends, that I needed to see so badly
Remembered me
I was just leporine at the very notion
Of going back
Heading up north all the way to Logan
With no real plan

But I’m nervous that too much has changed
In the time that I moved to Salt Lake
I know I’m different since I left
It’s something I’ve come to expect

I was dropped off on campus at the inn
It was a blur
As if I was someplace I’d never been
Like I hadn’t returned
I’ve seen and felt everything I see
In a past life
But is now populated by people I’ll never meet
Like everything’s fine

But I met so many of my friends
I didn’t know that when I saw them again
I didn’t foresee it, but I was stunned
That they were so glad for me to have come

I went to Ben’s hideaway in the mountainside
It was all here
And in that place, I broke down and cried
Through my tears
I looked up in the sky, and up high
I saw white streaks
Like a precession of doves taking flight
Something from a dream
I smiled at what the future could bring
What is waiting in spring.

Red-eyed, I went to Katie’s and Alyssa’s apartment
We talked until it got late, and I went into the darkness
I retraced my steps through the night
Around the town one last time

While I was alone, I spoke to God
It was the first time in so long
And I thanked them for everything until I saw the sun
There was no order, it just happened all at once
