lyrics

I don’t think I’ll miss this place
I’ll keep a couple of memories just in case
The circus bears riding mini-bikes
The smell in the air after lightning strikes
Swam in a graveyard
Slept in the sea
I knew I couldn’t stay but no one said I had to leave

Let’s this be an X to mark the spot

Maybe I make all the magic
Maybe I wait too long
Maybe I can’t advantage of it
Maybe I come on a bit too strong
Puked up a rainbow
Swallowed the key
We were living in a bubble
How could I ever feel free?

The whole point of living is getting busy dying
I said I’ve had enough but baby, I was lying
Cut the jet stream out of my sheltered sky

I don’t think I’ll miss this place
I’ll keep a couple of memories just in case
We were bobbing for apples in a wishing well
Come up empty-handed
At least I’ll have a story to tell

It won’t stop the burning and the pages keep on turning
Lay my cards out on the table
Be the hand that rocks the cradle

I know I won’t miss this place
But I’ll probably be reminded of it every day
Losing their minds on a treasure hunt
I’ve never seen such a bunch of selfish cunts
Spit out the secret
Swallowed the key
I knew I couldn’t stay but no one said I had to leave

Let this be an X to mark the spot

Maybe I don’t need the magic
Maybe the people just suck
Maybe I can’t take advantage of it
Maybe I got something that’s better than luck
Swam in a graveyard
Slept in the sea
I knew I couldn’t stay but no one said I had to leave

The whole point of living is getting’ busy dying
I said enough’s enough but baby, I was lying
Cut the jet stream out of my sheltered sky
