Empty Nesters

Understand the purpose of making

Everything around you better

There are no zeros after this one

There is no one to destroy your sweater

I’ll try to hum it to you if I can’t sing

My baby wants me back before I even leave

Smothered and covered by my high school dreams

Call mom and daddy cause the nest is empty

And so are you

Did you meet with your advisor?

Do you still draw in the margins?

Bubble letters reading “what for?”

And “I wish I had a stand in...”

Let’s try to make another hit for the teens

I miss your bangs, can you cut them for me

Smothered and covered by my high school dreams

Call mom and daddy cause the nest is empty

And so are you
