The smell of oranges are in the air
And I am falling
Has it been a year
I go to the market
With my girlfriend's parents
And I buy a bag of satsumas
Can Whole Foods really be called a supermarket?
When it’s just a big boutique box store
I think compulsively
Frank Ocean is playing
And I feel how I felt in Baltimore on that cold day
When we put the L. Cohen song on
One of us must be wrong
One of us must be wrong
And the feeling shot through me
Like ice water but colder
One of us must be wrong
When I moved to San Fransisco last February
Satsumas were on sale
I think they're following me
I eat them and they
Taste like chalk on my teeth
I eat them to remember this grief
And I wonder if my girlfriend knows,
How much her ex girlfriend liked them?
And how much she’s hating me now
I think compulsively
But I don’t act anymore
One of us must be wrong
One of us must be wrong
One of us must be wrong
And I keep forgetting to listen to music
I keep forgetting to take a deep breath
I keep thinking one of us must be wrong
Oh I’m jealous of myself two year ago
Everything was bathed in some naïve light
But I’m mostly alright
