about

"i was on tour at the time, down the west coast, hot and sticky
waited as long as i could, wanting the tape
to feel the magnetic movements pull me in
but i couldn’t wait
so i pulled up the album on the internet
and bit down, sinking my teeth into the words
i honestly can’t remember the day
Gabby Giffords was shot
i was living with Logan, or maybe not
i was jobless and living off malt liquor
selfish and lazy, trying to recover from San Diego
my family lives down the road from that Safeway
i can imagine the parking lot but not the scene
gunshots are familiar but not semi automatic
tackling a gunman is heroic but not automatic
at least not for me
a high school friend tackled him
a wasn’t there, neither were you
i should have cared more, but I wasn’t myself"

lyrics

"I wasn't there at the Safeway where
our Congresswoman got shot,"
that was the line, the stately divine
i could not forget
slinking' down in the bench seat
of Tristan's van
movin' across as the Pacific Ocean folded sand

i was on tour
i could not decide
whether I should wait for the tape
or just give in
and dive
into

i wasn't there at the Safeway where
our Congresswoman got shot
in fact i can't even remember where I was at all
