201, scribbled on my friends brother’s chest and if his mom had the same one, she’d never confess and now his heart cover’s just another drunken regret but i think drunk Dylan was on to something yet so follow me, you see, the numbers are at least a little tiny bit more than first three of my “call me, if you get bored” so call me a pretend defender of metaphor but backwards it had hung on my door my first year away from home when i was lonely and only a little sore when everything around me was changing i asked for more and I got it, a little bit of a prophet, they called me but only the world is changing I’m still a boy and this is it, man, this is where we were going brought our cups to the fountain and now they’re all overflowing close our eyes, only our smiles are showing so we don’t see what we’ve done and last year, 213, only a number away (if you move one and let the other change) everything changes, i guess that’s the way that it goes but imma fight that shit until they bury my bones so listen even though the place that we lived in is gone i still remember the melodies, i still sing the songs the way it was is never gonna be in front of me but i believe the spirit up inside of us lives on cause every trinity is a like a house we built and every night when we keep yelling at our bones “be still” we wanna love and we will, this house is infinitely beautiful and i’ll be climbing in between the window sills and maybe you’ll think that I’m crazy but this house is real all you gotta do is dig a little lower to feel the bedrock it’s been built on and all the false starts from the times it’s been built wrong all we do is add on to the structure, never demolish whats under- neath the paint and the plaster and all the tears we spilled and when it grows to sprawling epic proportions, we’ll patch up all of our porches and dig a well that we can wait to refill yeah, this house is old, and it’s looking gone, but i know the gold in the foundation is strong this is the thing that we built together and someday my kids’ll live there and hopefully when i leave it’s where they’ll bury my songs now i want to take a moment or two to look around at the view at everything we’ve done this time and I’m so glad I’ve spent this time with you and shit that short kid too i hope we’ll be by each other’s sides when we leave this all behind well 528 that’s a fucking ocean away, but ok we’ll still make it be great, we’ll be brave 201’s not just a number it’s a way to believe in the weight of all the lumber in the house below us it’s the thing we built, it’s everything we need and more it’s all our hopes and all our fears and all our open doors and everything we ever need isn’t somewhere else it’s in the boards by our feet it’s the love that we share and the fact that we care if you add them together you get 3 so this house could bear any number it desires i don’t care, I’m gonna keep lighting matches and if the house don’t look so beautiful now just sit here with me, and imagine and we’ve lived inside this house for long enough now we think we’ve seen all that it could be but i swear to a god i never had any faith in it could be a bit more if we just believe and now i want to take a moment or two to look ahead at the view at everything we’ll do in time and I’m so glad I’m on this ride with you and shit that short kid too i know we’ll be by each other’s sides when we leave this all behind...

...but we’ve got 2 years left so i say it’s time we take all that sad shit off of our minds so break all the beer out hell yeah it’s time we’re doing fine we’re doing fine yeah we’ve got two years let’s take it all and make it ours

(Over the past couple weeks, I've had several of my friends write small, 4-or-8-line verses for this song. They didn't know what I had written already, they didn't know what each other had written, and they only vaguely knew how the tune went. All I told them was I wanted this song to be about how they felt about their friends. And it is. The names in parentheses are the people who wrote those respective verses.) I'm sitting laughing over things, with my girl my friends and
 everything that I could need
don’t care if the world was ending 
If something happens tonight, we'd be the first to know
If something happens tonight, I don't mind I'm first to go Me: Hey, it's Will - I love you Victor: Oh! Me: I just wanna let you know that I love you Sonia: I love you too Me: I love you Luis: I love you too Me: I just wanted to let you know that I love you Matt: Hey! I love you too man Me: I love you Kyla: I love you too Me: George, I love you George: Aw, I love you too what's going on Me: I just wanted to let you know that I love you Ricky: Ah thanks bud, love you too Me: I love you Mariah: Oh yeah? Me: I love you sis Grace: Ok. Why'd you call me? (luis) and now we’re back to 5 am sitting on the couch talking bout our pain and i finally got around to solving this so get comfortable and let me explain (alvin) take a deep breath, we’ll dive right in you jump, i jump look around the bend over the fence and down by the river throw a rock in so you’ll remember and on the beach, dig a hole in the sand you stay, i stay, this is where we’ll stand give em a smile as we turn to dust we’re side by side i guess that’s good enough (george) and back in the nissan, it’s the same old shit that essential type of love you ain’t never gonna quit when you’re tune comes on and you tune out the extraneous cause everything we need is here, it’s pretty plain to us 
these young hearts are fire, we're the anomalies
 lighter hearts burn brighter than the eye can see laugh along, die in love
 the way we wanna go laugh till ya cry, love your friends
 stone bridges don’t go up in smoke laugh along, die in love
 the way we wanna go laugh till ya cry, love your friends
 stone bridges don’t go up in smoke we’re all together we’re all in we got each other’s backs through thick and thin we're all together we're all in (helena) so let’s get lost today in the best kinda way you can hold my hand, if I can kiss your face cause there’s a few flights left, let’s ditch this town I'll dye my hair if you run your mouth (victor) if i had a dime for every friend I’ve made here we’d all be high as hell and there’d be no tears yeah it’s hard sometimes cause we’re all far from perfect but we’re the lonely kids who grew up into best friends we’re all together we’re all in we got each other’s backs through thick and thin we’re all together we’re all in we got each other’s backs through thick and thin Brian: Hello? Me: Hey Bri, it's Will Brian: Yeah, what's up dude? Me: I just wanted to let you know I love you Brian: Aw I love you too dude Me: Also I'm recording this call Me: Brian?
