When you do it, because you’re focused
On the inside of the universe
I love you because
You’re on a roller coaster

For me, it was that kind of moment. I got to come back. I had been here before and now, well now, I could come back. I had a chance to do it all again, bigger, better and well, just better. I hoped I could remember all that I learned the first time.

Been looking for guns.
His guns have turned up missing.
He’s been looking for the guns.
Looking for guns.
