’91

[Verse 1] It’s ’91, a war is on I watch in black, white, and green My mother dances around like there ain’t no rip in the seam While she waltzes with ghosts, I can feel what went wrong She’s here, but she’s not Just like her, I’m not home [Chorus] I'm here but I'm not Just like her, I'm not home Hey, I'm here but I'm not [Verse 2] Storefronts change a new war on So I rip floorboards from our place Black out all our windows and then I kick them from their frames Now, you can dance with anyone Tattoo yourself a fucking sleeve And you're here but you're not Just like you, I can’t leave [Chorus] Hey I'm here but I'm not Just like you, I can't leave I'm here but I've been gone just a little too long now [Verse 3] Oh, someone new walks along, steals the weight from your war Flickers of light, and you’re sure that you have been here before Oh, she could have anyone, but she’s asking after your dreams Yeah I know what I’m not But looking at you, I can’t leave [Chorus] Just like you, I can’t leave Oh, I know what I'm not Just like you, I can't leave I know what I'm not Just like you, I can't leave I'm here, but I'm not Just like you, I can't leave I'm here but I'm not Just like you, I can't leave [Outro] We’ve been gone just a little too long now
