Rilo Kiley - Somebody Else's Clothes lyrics

and you're ridin' in back

layin' here on your back

you're as serious as a heart attack

all those picturesque moments

the sunsets glowin'

through the back of the van

and the water is diamonds

there's something you're hiding

it's just your fatal flaw

and you're tryin' to compose

but just being this happy

is like walking around

in somebody else's clothes

and you all think i'm stupid,

too nice, too aloof

there's no one in here at all

been on the road for so long

singing self-obsessed songs

i'm always comin' as i'm goin'

and the water is diamonds

there's something you're hiding

you wish you could just shout it out

"just fucking love me

i'm tired of leaving

and waking up

in somebody else's clothes"

my dad's been in jail

for two halves of a year

i got my first letter today

it was simple and sad

it was painfully clear

and this is how it read:

"my daughter this time well

the water's not diamonds

i'm a fraud and i am old

and they found me out

but just bein' your father

is like walking around in

somebody else's clothes

i'll be out by the first snow

wearing somebody else's clothes"
