Damn Mountains

I wanna wake up with you near me
When it's nearly 6 a.m.
I wanna move out of this city
I can't hear myself think anymore

But you've got 9 a.m.s (9 a.m.s), now don't you?
And I've got (I've got) a shift in the morning
Wrapping cables downtown (cables downtown)
Downtown

How come we feel so lonely, lonely, lonely?
Thought that I came out to escape the simple lifestyle
But I guess it's got a leash on me real tight (real tight)
And it feels real tight (real tight, real tight, real tight)

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la (hey)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la

I thought I could glide through (glide through)
These freeways (freeways)
Like you see on TV
Like I knew back at home
Thought I'd roam free
But I'm surrounded by
All of these mountains
And I can't breathe
When I'm singin' (singin', singin', singin', singin')
(Singin', singin') anymore

I'm not as social as you thought I was
I know nothing 'bout these one time kinda things
It was a one night type of stand
I'll admit it, I thought I had it for a minute
In the pit of the Troubadour
And when nestled in my rib cage
You took up all the space (you took up all the space)
Between the bones (between the bones)
On the ride home

And you can tell that I hate being alone
And I can smell all the hours you worked
At the department store but (at the department store)
You lied to my face in the morning (you lied to my face in the morning)
Said you was a fashion (fashion) designer (designer) on the weekends
But you just a practiced, liar like all them else

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la (hey)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la

I thought I could glide through
These freeways
Like you see on TV
Like I knew back at home
Thought I'd roam free
But I'm surrounded by
All of these mountains
And I can't breathe

(Fuck)
