Yesterday I was obsessing over my first kiss, and today I'm going to college half way across the country

I've been searching for days now

I've found something I lost

On a holy roller channel asking me whats the cost

On a couch in a cold room

Pouring salt in my wounds

I'm a mistake faking truth holding liars balloons

Make me fly for something more

You've been asleep for days now, 

Living inside your dreams

You know that aint no way to live or to handle such things

I wanna shake up your system

I wanna rattle your bones

I wanna take you to the stars 

And then I'll leave you alone

I would meet you anywhere, but Ive been farther down

I saw you somewhere farther down,

Did I expect it?

Now I'm overcome with fear

Mama get me out of here

I've gone farther down than I ever wanna go.

Lighting up the horizon, 

To the city sky-lights

In a faded aspiration only left in our minds

Let us shake up the system,

Lets go and rattle their frames

Lets take the highest road away and avoid these trappings

We stood out in the cold 

And your eyes, they ate my soul

Begged me to come back down, 

they begged me to come back down

Then the ground ate my legs, so I looked up to the sky and said

I don't wanna go back down

Oh Ive been so far down

Heaven help me, heaven help me for the way I've been.

Farther down

Did I expect it?

Now I'm overcome with fear

Mama get me out of here

I've gone farther down than I ever, than I ever wanna go

Farther down, I saw you somewhere 

Farther down

Did I expect it

Now I'm overcome with fear

Mama get me out, mama get me out of here.

I'm all done packing and my room is empty. Departing Jersey at 4a.m. tomorrow.
