state song Lyrics

We haven't spoke since that day at the park when we broke each other's hearts

Down by the river, you were the first to speak but I choked anyway

We knew the end was coming, it was not the time or place or night or day

For us to pretend that we could make it to the end of summer break

It didn't feel wrong, it didn't feel right

Sleeping next to you under sirens and lights

From the hospital across the street, next to park where we used to meet

I'd wake up before you and see your sleeping face

Then I'd kiss you on the forehead and walk down to our favorite breakfast place

Alone, the only state I know

Not even Texas, Maine, or Tennessee could take that state away from me

From Pennsylvania to Virginia, I know I'll be seeing ya

From across the city, your view is pretty

But mine gets better every day

I guess what I'd miss most about our time together is your cat

Or how you told me I remind you of your alcoholic dad

Maybe some day we could catch up on our situation here

But please be kind 'cause I just might need a few more years of being

Alone, the only state I know

Not even Texas, Maine or Tennessee could take that state away from me

From Pennsylvania to Virginia, I know I'll be seeing ya

From across the city, your view is pretty

But mine gets better every day

I'm sorry I thought I had my shit together when I don't

You're sorry it took so long for you to realize I was just floating on in terms of your expectations for me

Because honestly, I'd much rather be

Alone, the only state I know

Not even Texas, Maine or Tennessee could take that state away from me

From Pennsylvania to Virginia, I know I'll be seeing ya

From across the city, your view is pretty

But mine gets better every day

Oh it gets better every day
