Dashboard Confessional - All The Truth That I Can Tell

Sunshine State

Feel like I'm dyin'
Or I'm half-dead anyway
Too many dark days
Strung out in the sunshine state

I was almost a kid there
But I grew up fast and hard
I guess you make all kind of mistakes
Before you find out who you are

Feel like I'm fightin'
To hold on to somethin' dear
Too many friends I loved
Let go when things got real

One left me these secrets
I've been carryin' around
'Cause she said to protect 'em
And I will not let her down

I wish I could tell you
Just how beautiful she feels
I wish I could tell you I've been
With her all thеse years

I wish I could tell you
Shе'll come back for me one day
But she's in a better place
And I'm stuck here in the sunshine state...
The sunshine state...

Feel like I'm lyin'
When I say that place is home
'Cause it feels like it's keepin' who I was
From where I'm goin'

I am almost a kid here
When I'm playin' fast and loud
Come tomorrow, I'll be halfway gone
But I'm all the way here right now

I wish I could tell you
Just how beautiful she feels
I wish I could tell you I've been
With her all these years

I wish I could tell you
She'll come back for me one day
But she's in a better place
And I'm stuck here in the sunshine state...

The sunshine state...
The sunshine state...
The sunshine state
