Neat lyric as always, Stefan. A bicoastal child of divorce-- now there's an lyric topic I've never seen. And it's well handled too. Why not take lines 5-8 of verse 1 and make that a chorus somehow? The only thing this lyric lacks right now is better structure. And that six-line bridge, if that's what it is, reads a little weird, but that could just be because of where you split your lines.

Nice job here! Lotta good lines.

P.S.: What's a "pocket book"? Is that a little paperback he brought with him? Just wondering.
