Atheist

On our initial descent into Chicago
Katie leans over my lap
looking out the window
For a glimpse of the house we were kids in
She says "I hated it then
but now I kind of miss it"
Shirts in the microwave, trash in the sink
Quarters in a mason jar for every time she smokes
She says "If we keep this up, girls, in no time we'll be broke"

I don't remember getting older
But I'm slowing down
I don't know if I'm gonna miss you
Where I'm going now

The 20th of October
Hair of the dog, a blanket on your shoulder
Reading the menu in an accent
Trying to get you laughing
She said some kids from the Christian school
Came to sing her a song
It went like "Angels watching over us all our little lives"
I don't know if I buy it but it does sound kinda nice

I don't remember getting older
But I'm slowing down
I don't know if I'm gonna miss you
Where I'm going now
