lirik lagu conor oberst - southern state
[verse 1]
the songs you sung spiraled
and hung ’round like echoes
or ripples on a pond
so you circled the globe
spent a year on the road
without ever going home
more than a couple of days
then you leave right away
run to a girl you barely know
but you like how she sings
and you can’t help but think
there’s something that she knows
and could teach you
[chorus 1]
now you’re sleeping in that southern state
where the, the bars are filled with people you don’t hate
but try as you try, you still can’t relate to them
you drink that whiskey down as they ask you:
“are you who you say you are?
“are you who you say that you are?
“are you who you say that you are?
“are you who you say that you are?
“are you who you say you are?
“the fact that we can’t tell
“makes us like you even more”
[verse 2]
so now you’re trying again
or just visiting friends
one had just had his heart broke
for the first time in his life
he realized there’s times
when you can’t make it alone
so now you are giving advice
as if you had the right
to use a word like “love”
it’s a negotiable term
what gets said’s not what’s heard
so it’s different then for everyone
[chorus 2]
but you’ve still hangin’ ’round that college town
with your new life, your new lover you found
keeping her up at night, bringing her down
she’ll watch you drink yourself to death
but won’t ask you:
“is this really what you want?
“is this really what you want?
“is this really what you want?
“is this really what you want?
“is this really what you want?
“or are you just sticking with it now
“cause it’s all you got?
“cause it’s all you got?
“cause it’s all you got?
i think you’re sticking with me now ’cause i’m all you got
god, no
god, no
i’m all you got
i know
god knows
