lyrics

I wanna hop in the car and take 95 north until I can't drive anymore
You can come too, I'll take the whole damn crew
We'll sing this song 'till our lungs get sore:

Just throw me a lifeline
Cause this state is sinking fast
And these limestone cities will wash away
When the ocean swallows them back
You know we're drowning in this nightmare
I wish I could say it weren't so
But at the end of the day, at least I can say
I'll always love to hate my home

An exponential atmosphere of agitation
Grows to choke us like humidity
An existential crisis, we're trapped in our vices
And it feels like we'll never be free
Everyone's so vapid and boring
This monotony will never end
We all just fake it, it's make or break it
But thank god I've got my friends

throw me a lifeline
Cause this state is sinking fast
And these limestone cities will wash away
When the ocean swallows them back
You know we're drowning in this nightmare
I wish I could say it weren't so
But at the end of the day, at least I can say
I'll always love to hate my home

I hate that I love this ocean
And the Spanish moss in these trees
Driving down these streets, I can't help but think
How this place has come to shape me

It's thrown me a lifeline
And it'll always be my past
It's my warmth and inspiration
A constant motivation To be the best that I can be

throw me a lifeline
Cause this state is sinking fast
And these limestone cities will wash away
When the ocean swallows them back
You know we're drowning in this nightmare
I wish I could say it weren't so
But at the end of the day, at least I can say
I'll have a place to call my home
