Artist/Band: Bright Eyes
Lyrics for Song: Southern State
Lyrics for Album: Motion Sickness [2005]



Well the songs you sung spiraled

And hung 'round like echoes

Or ripples on a pond



So you circled the globe

Spent a year on the road

Without ever going home



More than a couple of days,

Then you'd leave right away

Run to a girl you barely know



But you like how she sings

And you can't help but think

That there's something that she knows and could teach you



While you're sleeping in that southern state

Where the bars are filled with people

You can't hate



But try as you try

You still can't relate to them

And you drink that whiskey down

As they ask you, "Are you who you say you are?"

Are you who you say that you are?

Are you who you say that you are, you,

Are you who you say that you are?

Are you who you say you are?

The fact that you can't tell

Makes us like you even more



So now you're trying again

Or just visiting friends

One had just had his heart broke



For the first time in his life

He realized there are times

When you can't make it alone



But now you're giving advice

As if you had the right

To use a word like "love"



No no, it's a negotiable term

What gets said's not what's heard

So it's different then for everyone



But you been hanging 'round

That college town

With your,your new life your new lover you've found



And you're keeping her up at night

Bringing her down

She'll watch you drink yourself to death

But won't ask you, "is this really what you want?"

Is this really what you want?

Is this really what you is this what...

Is this really what you want?

Is this really what you want?



Are you just sticking with it now because it's all you've got?

Are you just sticking with it now because it's all you've got?

Yeah that's it, I think you're sticking with me now

Because I'm all you've got

Because that's all you've got
