lyrics

I’d rather watch a movie about camping
Than go camping by itself
I like the Argentinian cowboy on his horse
From the comfort of my living room or from the back porch

I once went camping with Rebekah in Wisconsin
We drove for 20 hours and didn’t say a word
I didn’t feel in love and I had told her so
I got out of the car, put on my bag, I was gonna hitchhike back to provo

Existential dread
And smallness
Am I good enough of a lover
Have I fucked this up?

Rebekah got out of the car, took my bag off my shoulders,
She put it back in the trunk.
I felt defeated so I got back in.
She told me later she was planning to leave as soon as we arrived in Madison
She’d book a flight the very next day and be home in Springville with her mom
Or maybe to LA to see the coast and spend time with her brother

Cause sometimes grieving people need to move to away

We endured the drive and I felt sick, so I called my sister,
Told her things would probly not work out between Bek and I
She said sorry, said she loved me, said we’d we talk when we arrived
At 2 am, we shared a bed, and I wept in life

Camping in a wooden house
I love my sister, she held my head
As I blamed the turning earth and god for filling me with dread

One day later, we slept in a humid tent and shared breath and warmth
I laid awake and wondered where we’d go from here
