pokemon fire red

When I was ten, I played Pokemon Fire Red on my DS

And before I started a battle, I would always save the game

So if I lost the battle, I could just turn off my DS

And turn it back on to the place that I had saved the game

I felt abandoned by the world, so I abandoned everyone I love

And moved two thousand miles away for a clearer view of the stars

And I keep writing songs about how I'll never go back to Ohio

But all my friends are in Ohio

I don't understand how other people don't constantly stop to mourn

The dozens of other little lives they've lived
