91
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
And she's here but she's not, just like her I'm not home
Just like her, I'm not home
Just like her, I'm not home
And I'm here, but I'm not
Just like her, I'm not home
And I'm here, but I'm not
Storefronts changed, a new war on, so I rip floorboards from our place
Blackout 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
Just like you, I can't leave
Just like you, I can't leave
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
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
Just like you, I can't leave
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
Gone just a little too long now
My mother dances around like there ain't no rip in the seam
While she waltzes with ghosts, I can feel what went wrong
And she's here but she's not, just like her I'm not home
Just like her, I'm not home
Just like her, I'm not home
And I'm here, but I'm not
Just like her, I'm not home
And I'm here, but I'm not
Storefronts changed, a new war on, so I rip floorboards from our place
Blackout 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
Just like you, I can't leave
Just like you, I can't leave
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
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
Just like you, I can't leave
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
Gone just a little too long now
