Ohio

At 14 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 ya start to run out of breath

And ya pass out, wake up

wig out not knowing where you are

I’m safer here inside my submarine

‘Cause when I’m under water 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 ya, wish your brain could delete for ya,

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

I’m safer here inside my submarine

‘Cause when I’m under water you can’t throw words at me

I’m just learning how to leave

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

Ohio

Ohio

Ohio

Ohio

Ohio

Growing up, and we're all dying

Growing up, and we're all trying

Growing up, and we're all dying

Growing up, and we're all trying

Growing up, and we're all dying

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
