I've been away from the ocean for too long Longing for waves and sweet smell of salt I'd go back for a day, but no one there knows me now I ran from the coast at the first chance I got I was plagued with regret and the memories of Aptos After I left, I found myself looking back Sometimes you're faced with a foregone conclusion A life in a cage you don't know what to do with Hand over the keys, there's no time for slowing down My body's a muscle I'm trying to fit in I hate my broad shoulders, my hair, and my chin I want to be well, or maybe just see myself But I know that It's not a wish upon the out of state, driving through the palisades I wore that Blue tie like a noose holding everything Fragily and keeping me in place Tired of assholes that fuck it all up I was raised by the Antlers and crappy punk rock I thought it was good, but maybe it wasn't so great So fuck you and half-assed attempts at a family They're tired and bored, I never needed one anyway I've seen it before; I know how this movie ends And I hope that It's not a wish upon the out of state, driving through the palisades I wore that Blue tie like a noose holding everything Fragily and keeping me in place Time waits for the empty Oh to save our souls I'm not growing old Well don't you look at me that way I'm alive with a reason calling me to And don't you ever lose my name It's all mine so I keep it calling me the same My body's a muscle I'm trying to fit in I hate my own skin and this human condition I want to be well and maybe just see myself But I know that It's not a wish upon the out of state, driving through the palisades I wore that Blue tie like a noose holding up everything And keeping me in place Time waits for the empty Oh to save our souls I'm not growing old And I've been busy writing All the same old songs Tell them I've seen it all Time waits for the empty Oh to save our souls I'm not growing old And I've been busy writing All the same old songs Tell them I've seen it all But I know that It's not a wish upon the out of state, driving through the palisades I wore that Blue tie like a noose holding up everything And keeping me in place
