I'm getting ready to go outside I haven't left my apartment in a real long time I'm making friends with the stars at night They can see in my eyes, count to three, close a door, hope I'm fine Got a couple of flaws to hide I'm reclaiming my life 'cause I know that it's mine I think we knew that you're losing your shine And I lied to myself, but I think that it helps say goodbye And I'm shutting down the days on my computer And I'm playing life offline while you play shooters And I'm wanting change so bad that I'll go Southern Find another brand-new beginning I swear to god, if I run into you And you don't even know the half of it I'm moving states and I'll never admit But you ruined New York, so I had to quit I'm turning every corner with exceeded caution Hoping, praying, begging that you're not in Austin I hate Texas, but the exits have more room To run away from you To run away from you Run away from you You pissed me off for the final time It's aggravating that you wouldn't notice if you tried I should've read all the warning signs Called up HGTV, I got a fixer-upper right inside Trying hard to forget your face I want my own to be something that you can't escape Grinning harder now just in case So you'll know that my pain became the reason that I end in first place And I'm shutting down the days on my computer (computer) And I'm playing life offline while you play shooters (play shooters) And I'm wanting change so bad that I'll go Southern Find another brand-new beginning I swear to god, if I run into you And you don't even know the half of it I'm moving states and I'll never admit But you ruined New York, so I had to quit I'm turning every corner with exceeded caution Hoping, praying, begging that you're not in Austin I hate Texas, but the exits have more room To run away from you To run away from you Run away from you And everything's bigger in Texas Even all of the exits And everything's bigger in Texas I gotta get away and run away from you
