[Verse 1]
Just off of El Camino
On the corner of Ponderosa
I had my first kiss, it felt fake
But I had to make the most of it
Sipping milk tea with my friends
Austin looked at me and said
“Ain’t this shit?”
And I said sure, but it was
Pretty good

[Verse 2]
We passed by it on the way
To my graduation day
You didn’t have to come
But you did anyway
Oh, we wrote stories
In my parents’ living room
On my grandma’s old piano
And the Takamine guitar you always brought

[Verse 3]
I really wish that I had brought you
To that corner where I won
My first crane prize
And where I made most of my friends
Most of my friends
The corner I was passing
Now ten years ago, in that car
Where I had hoped
That I could kill myself

[Bridge]
But it’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s okay

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause my heart was
A Ponderosa seed
Ponderosa seed
And we were seabound
We were seabound

[Chorus]
8:27[pm], June 22nd, Summer of '12
We made a decision that would surely put us through hell
It seemed so simple, yeah, it seemed like nothing at all
But embracing this fantasy was our past lives’ curtain call

It started with the mare in the moon, and the wedding too
It wasn’t just a phase, just a doorway to a another view
It was the dragon in the mirror and the dream that he had fought
That revealed a better life we could nurture, no matter what
No matter what
No matter what
