Lyrics
[Verse 1] I woke up today And put all my shit in boxes It's 8 AM so I'm glad I wasn't out late And I woke up today Guess it's good I hadn't finished Unpacking all of this in the first place [Verse 2] Suburbs have abandoned me I've had the same best friend since '93 I call, he's not answering (no) I can't get comfortable on my own street I'm not fond of South Philly Or how my neighbors love ICP I guess it's better than Bancroft Street At least the fridge here works and the walls don't leak At least I'm starting to see What's left for me I'm starting to [Chorus] We moved on again, so I packed my shit and left home It's alright to think I still belong to something I don't 'Cause I could see why you'd think so [Verse 3] Nothing made me feel further away Than Left and Leaving through a blown car stereo Nothing made me feel closer to home Than Ready to Die through my headphones So we reached the coast But where do we sleep tonight? Damned if I know We'll try to stay in the airport Can't send us home and we got no place to go [Chorus] We moved on again, so I packed my shit and left home It's alright to think I still belong to something I don't 'Cause I could see why you'd think so 'Cause I could see why you'd think so [Bridge] Don't say it's up to me Don't say it's up to me Don't say it's up to me Don't say Don't say The creaks in the floorboards are calling out to me I'm lying here again With my head on my backpack Wrapped in my hoodie This is how it is when Don't say it's up to me Don't say [Chorus] We moved on again, so I packed my shit and left home It's alright to think I still belong to something I don't 'Cause I could see why you'd think so We moved on again, so I packed my shit and left home It's alright to think I still belong to something I don't 'Cause I could see why you'd think so [Verse 4] I stacked Lonelier than God Next to You Get So Alone Sometimes I know how this must look from the outside It took almost thirteen months For me to be where I feel fine I'm not as sad as I let myself believe sometimes
