Ohio

At fourteen I used to talk to myself Paint my bedroom with stars One for each time my dad flaked out Got a galaxy of scars You know that feeling that you get when ya Start to run out of breath and ya Pass out, wake up, wig out Not knowing where you are I'm safer here inside my submarine Cause when I'm underwater you can't say anything I can't hear anything Ohio I don't need Hollywood I don't need New York heights or Las Vegas lights I need Ohio I've never even been there But I'd rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio Ohio Ohio Ohi Last time I saw your face You were screaming that I don't have a clue I'm not a deadbeat piece of shit Dad, I never learned that from you You know that feeling when you're weak and ya Wish you're brain could delete for ya All the toxic, twisted contradictions that I worked so hard to lose I'm safer here inside my submarine Cause when I'm underwater you can't throw words at me I'm just learning how to leave Ohio I don't need Hollywood I don't need New York heights or Las Vegas lights I need Ohio I've never even been there But I'd rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio Ohio Ohio Ohio Ohio We're all growing up And we're all dying We're all growing up And we're all trying We're all growing up And we're all dying We're all growing up And we're all trying We're all growing up And we're all dying We're all growing up And we're all trying Ohio I don't need Hollywood I don't need New York heights or Las Vegas lights I need Ohio I've never even been there But I'd rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio
