Ohio

Ohio, Ohio-so, Ohio
Ohi-hi-hio-so, Ohio
Took a bus straight to Baltimore
On the way he took a nap
Dropped off a note that said
"I'm giving this note back
PS: There's a lot going on underneath
There's roots, there's pipes,
There's drainage leaks, so yeah....
You're on, you're wrong"
Ohio, Ohio-so
Ohi-hi-hio-so
Ohio, Ohio
Truly sorry, I see clearly
Calmly crashing, I pace faster than anyone
Hinges rusting, they swing louder than anything
Truly lonely, this place is flatter than it seems
I'm upset and I leave the doors open wide
Our hearts are used up, cracked and dry
Pulled the scabs off of regrets
We haven't learned to read our conscience yet
Truly sorry, I see clearly
Hardy hoping, I spend it all on game machines
Calmly crashing, I pace and I figure out again
One hand clapping, awake but napping
Rows of lights to illuminate lines
Why don't they turn them off and let us see night?
Drove crazed grooming my lies
You can't look in on one way eyes
Ohio, Ohio
Ohi-hi-hio-so
Ohio, Ohio-so
Ohio, Ohi-hi-hio
Ohio, Ohio
Ohio-so
