i see your copper at the bottom of the well,
but you don't say where your mind has gotten to.
you and i have watched the sky as it fell to grey but i will not seek blue in you but i may cry
tears are the truest things in my life.
sometimes i cry when everything's fine

but she sees the world as a yo-yo
and she’ll admit that she don’t
know what anything is for.
they bring you here without your permission.
we all just do the best we can
until we can’t anymore

jeni left saturday a legacy
of mall-dwelling teenage bliss undone.
so what do we do, where do we go? jeni, how come?
you had to know you were much more
than just prom queen.
coolest girl key high has ever seen.
what will you be now?
varsity captain’s crush, she never rode the bus.
she walked from home with us.
brad would drive by, she would just smile,
he’d say, “come on, jen. it’s damn near a mile.
hell with those snot-nosed little kids.
ride with me, jen.” but she never did.
what will we do now,
now that jeni’s going, gone anywhere but down
guess we’ll be standing still at the bus stop,
hanging around
