lyrics

I was hoping my eyes would open on an ocean in the rain
But I just woke up on the plains again
Where it's normal and slow, and the devil you know
Will never catch a soul who's already cheating.

Yeah, I've been to high school, just around the block
That's where I learned I can take a beating
And feel hopeless and sad but somehow not that bad
You can't break my heart, it's already bleeding

There's no trust in America, no love in this town
It's not hard to see why you're all leaving
But we're sticking around, we're gonna close it down
We can't get to sleep, we're already dreaming

His eyes look just like stars, and his voice sounds like guitars
And his hair is a riot in a bar
Fall in love again with your neediest friend
You can't break his heart, it's already bleeding
