Statelines

I’ve been stretching every word miles apart from each other.
And I’ve been starving states.
While you’ve been miles away.
To the tired eyes conversing in the scenes they are rehearsing.
Have I been begging you to stay?
You paint my eyes when they are tired.
By miles as far as the eye can see.
When I don’t know who to believe.
When your bones could compare to the places that I’ve seen.
And the states that I’ve starved will insist on chasing me.
It seems I’m begging you to stay.
And I’ve been pacing through these rooms statelines apart from each other. And I have starved the air.
I have starved myself.
Spend the afternoon on the ground.
Brighter eyes for every town.
Each city is like a disease.
You paint my eyes when they are tired.
By miles as far as the eye can see.
When I don’t know who to believe.
When your bones could compare to the places that I’ve seen.
And the states that I’ve starved will insist on chasing me.
It seems I’m begging you to stay.
Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, ohhh.
You paint my eyes when they are tired.
By miles as far as the eye can see.
When I don’t know who to believe.
When your bones could compare to the places that I’ve seen.
And the states that I’ve starved will insist on chasing me.
It seems I’m begging you to stay.
Begging you to stay-ay.
