Summer Soundtrack Poem by Eden Sheffroth

Summer Soundtrack



Never thought that the world would be like this, all strange and new
Living my life on chips and Mr.Noodles, crouched in this zoo
We all have our own hopes and dreams in this dusty old town
But none of them will be realized here

I'm going to college in a village 50 people wide, working in a dump wishing i could die
Living in worse, who thought mice would be my buddies at a luxury hotel?
Nothing really gets us through in this place except alchohol and a old guitar
We begin to sing but the party gets broken up before we can have fun

Time to head back to our rooms, drink quietly, f**k loudly and call our homes

Hey Momma I'm doing ok, cant complain about the bedbugs the exterminator poisened them away
Sure it's hard to breathe in this cramped sprayed room but the alchohol dims the pain
I'm watching him put his clothes on right now, but don't worry he's just a friend
The roomate? Messy but full of life what right do I have to be annoyed?

I'm in love with a boy he's a bit of a player, but he's smart and charming and oh so handsome
So what if he sleeps in diffrent beds each night? Why won't he choose mine?
It's cause I'm awkward, not clever at all and maybe (I won't admit it) I'm a lil bit fat
Freshman fifteen has caught up with me at last

Moving into a house this week if my new roomates ever call
I better pack my sh*t or I wont have a home at all
Maybe I'll meet some handsome college boy and we will run away to the ends of the earth
Some exotic country where I can wear soft white dresses and breathe in spices

Hey Momma it's all gonna be alright, so what if you and Daddy had a big fight?
Sorry that the dog died but at least my brothers coming home, love to see him before he goes to war
But the boss is a b**ch and the days are flying, if I quit now my summer would be worth nothing
I have no money I have no clothes omg I need some pens and pencils! !

Waiting on the bank, my roomate left me with her mess gotta clean it if I want my deposit back
F**k my life, I love my job, Stayover, Sex and Carpet Burns
Andy Brown, I kissed a girl, Dolla Dolla bills; this is my summer soundtrack
Missing all the friends I've made... man I want the summer back
