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 both headed in different directions,
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
