hoodie weather
It smells like it should be snowing
And Ive been frequenting a diner on
Main Street
Where the waitresses are girls that graduated with me
Have problems with oxy and cant recall what
I had to drink
No one knows where theyre going
They just know they want out of here badly
Theyre like cigarettes dropped on a highway
They smash and scatter and burn out somewhere else without knowing
Ive got my grandmothers veins in the back of my hands
And just a hint of a
South Philly accent
I was born here and
Ill probably die here
Lets go home
This town has got lies to tell
Ill wait around and hear you out
But I cant keep from digging up these bones forever
At least for now,
Ill settle down
Ill try to find some solid ground
I lost my footing trying to get home last winter
The kids in the graduating class
Have got their eyes set west
And California on their lips
But I left some blood there that
Im never getting back
Rockys in the
Deep South
I dont think hes coming back now
Its sinister, but its how life worked out
Ive got my grandmothers veins in the back of my hands
And just a hint of a
South Philly accent
I was born here and
Ill probably die here
Lets go home
This town has got lies to tell
Ill wait around and hear you out
But I cant keep from digging up these bones forever
At least for now,
Ill settle down
Ill try to find some solid ground
I lost my footing trying to get home last winter
Growing up means watching my heroes turn human in front of me
The songs we wrote at eighteen seem shortsighted and naïve
So when the weather breaks,
Ill pull my hoodie up over my face
I wont run away, run away
As ***** * as this place got, it made me me
This town has got lies to tell
Ill wait around and hear you out
But I cant keep from digging up these bones forever
At least for now ,
Ill settle down
Ill try to find some solid ground
I lost my footing trying to get home last winter
This towns got lies to tell
