Noah Kahan - Stick Season

As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined 
You must have had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the drive 
Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign
Kept on driving straight and left our future to the right

Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can’t face 
And memories are something even smoking weed does not replace 
And I am terrified of weather ‘cause I see you when it rains 
Doc told me to travel but there's COVID on the planes 

And I love Vermont but it's the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom she forgot that I existed
And it’s half my fault but I just like to play the victim 
I’ll drink alcohol ‘till my friends come home for Christmas 

And I’ll dream each night of some version of you 
That I might not have but I did not lose 
Now you’re tire tracks and one pair of shoes 
And I’m split in half but that’ll have to do 

So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad 
That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from Dad 
No I am no longer funny ‘cause I miss the way you laugh 
Once called me forever now you still can't call me back 

And I love Vermont but it's the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom she forgot that I existed
And it’s half my fault but I just like to play the victim 
I’ll drink alcohol ‘till my friends come home for Christmas 

And I’ll dream each night of some version of you 
That I might not have but I did not lose 
Now you’re tire tracks and one pair of shoes 
And I’m split in half but that’ll have to do 

Oh, that’ll have to do 
My other half was you 
I hope this pain’s just passing through 
But I doubt it 

And I love Vermont but it's the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom she forgot that I existed
And it’s half my fault but I just like to play the victim 
I’ll drink alcohol ‘till my friends come home for Christmas 

And I’ll dream each night of some version of you 
That I might not have but I did not lose 
Now you’re tire tracks and one pair of shoes 
And I’m split in half but that’ll have to do 
Have to do
