Ohio

At fourteen I used to talk to myself

Paint my bedroom with stars

One for each time my dad flaked out

Got a galaxy of scars

You know that feeling that you get when you start to run out of breath

And you, pass out, wake up, wig out not knowing where you are

I'm safer here inside my submarine

'Cause when I'm underwater you can't say anything

I can't hear anything

O-O-O-Ohio

I don't need Hollywood

I don't need New York heights or Las Vegas lights

I need O-O-O-Ohio

I've never even been there

But I'd rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio

Ohio, Ohio, Ohi

Last time I saw your face

You were screaming that I don't have a clue

I'm not a deadbeat piece of shit

Dad, I'll never learn that from you

You know that feeling when you're weak

And you, wish your brain could delete for you

All the types of twisted contradictions that I've worked so hard to lose

I'm safer here inside my submarine

'Cause when I'm underwater you can't throw words at me

I'm just learning how to lead

O-O-O-Ohio

I don't need Hollywood

I don't need New York heights or Las Vegas lights

I need O-O-O-Ohio

I've never even been there

But I'd rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio

'Hio, 'Hio, 'Hio, 'Hio, 'Hio

'Hio, 'Hio, 'Hio, 'Hio, 'Hio

We're all growing up, and we're all dying

We're all growing up, and we're all trying

We're all growing up, and we're all dying

We're all growing up, and we're all trying

We're all growing up, and we're all dying

We're all growing up, and we're all trying

O-O-O-Ohio

I don't need Hollywood

I don't need New York heights or Las Vegas lights

I need O-O-O-Ohio

I've never even been there

But I'd rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio
