lyrics

Seventeen dollars in singles in a secondhand purse
The loneliness kills you, but somehow the boredom is worse
You find yourself telling a story that happened to someone else
To a row of blank faces
I wonder why you still hang out in these places

Maybe the roots you spent years putting down are just vines that won’t let you escape
So I don’t want you to stay

He leans in and whispers what you have to assume is a joke
With his breath full of promise and eyes full of cigarette smoke
The chips in your nail polish make them look like someone else’s hands
Someone you pity
You already kissed every boy in this city

Some things you love, some things you hate, but most things are only okay
So I don’t want you to stay

You can jump and just hover in space
Let the earth spin beneath you
And softly land in some other place
Because something is happening somewhere
And I won’t be the one in your way
So I don’t want you to stay
