about

This is a track that is simply about losing your youth. However, it contains multitudes. It is written to an ambiguous audience, talking about how chasing dreams tears friendships apart through literal physical separation. It is also about saying goodbye to yourself, to your innocence and your childhood as you get older. To be on varsity is to embrace a new stage of your life with new difficulties.

lyrics

...
Wide eyes, my lungs felt big
Honest to God, nowhere is perfect
Familiar, so familiar
From advice you keep running
From the overpass I didn't think we would see our shadows
From the overpass I didn't think you would leave this town though
Because we were kids, and now we are
23
So irregular
And no one told me that our dreams would turn sad
I'm alone again, yeah I've gotten good at that
Because we were kids, and now we are
Two strangers
Who live a world apart
Now you are, navy sheets
Eventually, on varsity
Now you are, so far, now you are, so far, now you are, now you are
Old news, like when we were
Running through the sprinklers
Remember
Remember
Open your eyes, bare feet upon the road
I'm hoping, I'm hoping that things won't turn
Sour
Seog emit eht erehw swonk ohw dna
So comfortable
(Comfort, Comfort) (I'll take it with me) (Love, Love, Love)
