Key To My Own City

from Vacation by Costellar

/

lyrics

I keep your picture close, when this weight that I choose to hold multiplies, doesn’t subside, and my knees begin to fold. Sometimes in the afternoon I wake up in this empty room, it’s a prison that I lock myself in because I don’t wanna lose you. Hell knows I’ve only tried as best I can, but I’m so tired tonight. So lay my bones on this bed to rest. I wanna live in the past, so I can die with it. As much as I’d kill to stay, life just isn’t gonna wait. Give me the key to my own city, so I can throw it away. There’s nothing on this page, just lines and empty space; it’s all I can show for months at home thinking of things to say. I can’t describe you, even though I’ve tried to, some clever words and a shitty voice could never do you justice. Ever wish you were somebody else? I just wish I were somebody else.
