June 2004. We flew back to Pennsylvania for my brother’s wedding. It was the first time you’d met any of my family. The night before the wedding, we all drank until the hotel bar kicked us out. When we went back to our room, you fell asleep pretty quickly and my drunk ass sat up listening to this song quietly on repeat until I had written all of lyrics down on a hotel notepad and put it in your purse.
I wonder if you still have it.
