lyrics

you can’t live your life like you’re constantly on vacation
you can’t live your life alone
you can’t live your life like you’re constantly on vacation
you can’t live your life alone

filled out one too many change of address forms
forget where the government thinks i live
cut across the northern half
of this beautiful yet fucked up country
you start to appreciate its flaws
this year i will buy a house—try to settle down a bit
spend less money on my music and relationships
but i don’t know if it’s the right move to stay put

you can’t live your life like you’re constantly on vacation
you can’t live your life alone
you can’t live your life like you’re constantly on vacation
you can’t live your life alone

call out the demons, all the fucked up shit from your childhood
let them in, then let them go
i don’t miss getting fucked up in parking lots of supermarkets
deep in the suburbs of south jersey
well that superfresh or what’s left of it
well it’s still there
and so am i in many different ways

you can’t live your life like you’re constantly on vacation
you can’t live your life alone
you can’t live your life like you’re constantly on vacation
there’s a right time to come home
i’m coming home
