Lyrics
Mr Petersen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My work came back from class
With notes attached
Of a place and time
Or how my body kept him up at night
He let me smoke weed in his truck
If I could convince him I loved him enough
Enough, enough, enough, enough
He made me a tape of Joy Division
He told there was a part of him missing
When I was sixteen
He jumped off a building
Mr Petersen
I know you were ready to go
I hope there's room for you up above
Or down below.
