Bright Eyes - Southern State LYRICS

Well the songs you sung spiraled
And hung 'round like echoes
Or ripples on a pond

So you circled the globe
Spent a year on the road
Without ever going home

More than a couple of days,
Then youd leave right away
Run to a girl you barely know

But you like how she sings
And you cant help but think
That theres something that she knows and could teach you

While youre sleeping in that southern state
Where the bars are filled with people
You cant hate

But try as you try
You still cant relate to them
And you drink that whiskey down
As they ask you, Are you who you say you are?
Are you who you say that you are?
Are you who you say that you are, you
Are you who you say that you are?
Are you who you say you are?
The fact that you cant tell
Makes us like you even more

So now youre trying again
Or just visiting friends
One that just had his heart broke

For the first time in his life
He realized there are times
When you cant make it alone

But now youre giving advice
As if you had the right
To use a word like love

No no, its a negotiable term
What gets saids not whats heard
So its different then for everyone

But you been hanging round
That college town
With youryour new life your new lover

Youve found and youre keeping her up at night
Bringing her down
Shell watch you drink yourself to death
But wont ask you, is this really what you want?
Is this really what you want?
Is this really what is this really what,
Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you want?

Are you sticking with it now because its all youve got?
Are you just sticking with
