Lyrics

Expatriate

Would you at least write me one more song?
Live under a bright light, you take the bus home
I don't know where I am most of the time
I base it all on the neon lottery signs
Maybe I'll buy a ticket, it's a lucky day
I will move away
Yeah, I'd be so brave
Not worrying about seeing you
You and her becoming you and me
I know people change and we're both moving on
And I can't be involved in this
You were my only family and now you feel foreign and away
An expatriate

Would you at least write me back today?
Most people think you're scattered but I think you're hasty
And I'm alright with that
Even after a disaster, some things remain intact
And I am worried
Yeah, I still worry all the time
The things you used to hate about me are all heightened now
But I love myself
Or I'm figuring out how to not always apologize
Just 'cause I'm the one who's always so upset
I am losing my shit all over your summer plans
In the backseat of the van or in hotel bathrooms
I will always love you
But I'll throw my suitcase down
I'm a tourist in this town
