Budget Bears

Semi-convinced you saw me as a chain around your ankles
Though I aimed in vain to raise you on my shoulders
Summer's almost here, or it would be in most years
but somehow this one's only getting colder

Alerts on my phone of memories together
Nostalgic for the company and also for the weather

You didn't have to drag me around
If I was such a drag to be around
If I was holding you back
Thank you for cutting me some slack

Semi-detached, in decline and daydreaming of finer times
I swear the sun used to shine more brightly
now I could blame the chemicals, or these rose-tinted spectacles
I'm skeptical, but I guess it's more likely

That my brain and my camera, they usually agree
That the bad times and the rain are a waste of memory

You didn't have to drag me around
If I was such a drag to be around
If I was holding you back
Thank you for cutting me some slack

are things getting better?
is it getting warm?
or is this just the calm before the storm?

I like how you took the outro from "Semiprecious" and turned it into your intro for this week. I know it seems obvious given the wording of the challenge, but your "Semiprecious" ending was creative and lended itself to this. I feel like the vocal is a little shakier than usual for you. It's possible this was an intentional style choice on your part, but it sounds like you just didn't have time to nail it down. The outro segue into "Pareidolia" wasn't as effective as the intro segue, in my opinion. The lyrics totally fit both songs, though!
