Bright Eyes - Southern State lyrics

Well, the songs you sung spiraled and hung round like echoes or ripples on a pond

So you circled the globe spent a year on the road without ever going home

More than a couple of days then you leave right away

Run to a girl you barely know

But you like how she sings and you can't help but think

That there's something that she knows and could teach you

Well, you're sleeping in that southern state where the the bars are filled with people you can't hate

But try as you try and you still can't relate to them

You drink that whiskey down as they ask you

Are you who you say you are?

The fact that we can't tell makes us like you even more

So you're trying again or just visiting friends

One had just had his heart broke

For the first time in his life he realized there's times

When you can't make it alone

So now you're giving advices as if you had the right

To use a word like love (blood)

It's a negotiable term, what gets said's not what is heard

So it's different then for everyone

But you keep hanging around that college town with your new life your new lover you found

And you are keeping her up at night bringing her down

She'll watch you drink yourself to death but won't ask you

Is this really what you want?

Or are you just sticking with it now cause it's all you got?

Are you just sticking with me now cause I'm all you got?
