Flyover State
from "Stay Young Forever" by Seaholm
lyrics
cast out on still water,
saw my shadow, then i hid in the corner.
tried to remember but i'm
drawing a blank this time.
so speak,
'cuz i only speak when i'm spoken to.
i unravel and roll down this
downtown street after midnight,
down this starry-eyed highway in your head.
but i would be your headrest on the drive home
'cuz it's a long way to New Jersey
and i need to be alone
sometimes
but keep it to yourself and i won't say a word now.
keep it to yourself and i won't tell anyone, i swear.
but it's not really like that.
now wait,
i was never really fighting the good fight
so cover your eyes 'til you see it
or pretend you don't hear
'til the floorboards give you away
or toss in both our hands tonight,
we're the cutest kids with dark sides.
we've got nothing to hide, and that's just fine,
but no one wants to hear that we're alright.
your makeup won't hide the circles under your eyes
i'll take it as a sign that's telling me i'm just like you
call it like it is, then i'll call myself a taxi
'cuz i don't think that i can look at you with a straight face.
you broke down and i don't need that in my life,
i'm giving up on all my happily-ever-afters with you.
saw my shadow, then i hid in the corner.
tried to remember but i'm
drawing a blank this time.
so speak,
'cuz i only speak when i'm spoken to.
i unravel and roll down this
downtown street after midnight,
down this starry-eyed highway in your head.
but i would be your headrest on the drive home
'cuz it's a long way to New Jersey
and i need to be alone
sometimes
but keep it to yourself and i won't say a word now.
keep it to yourself and i won't tell anyone, i swear.
but it's not really like that.
now wait,
i was never really fighting the good fight
so cover your eyes 'til you see it
or pretend you don't hear
'til the floorboards give you away
or toss in both our hands tonight,
we're the cutest kids with dark sides.
we've got nothing to hide, and that's just fine,
but no one wants to hear that we're alright.
your makeup won't hide the circles under your eyes
i'll take it as a sign that's telling me i'm just like you
call it like it is, then i'll call myself a taxi
'cuz i don't think that i can look at you with a straight face.
you broke down and i don't need that in my life,
i'm giving up on all my happily-ever-afters with you.
