Born To Stay

Here's to my absent friends
When will you be back again?
Is it sad, I think somewhat
To stay in the town where you grew up?
Technically I'm a mile away
But close enough to see the face
Of every girl from my high school class
Moved from New York on dating apps

Still I'm glad I stayed
Close enough to see my mom and dad watch the baseball game
And nothing changed
I guess that when you stay, you also stay the same

I've been so busy screaming into the void
Never noticed I was making a choice
To be just one more lonely, sad boy
Missing the point

So cue the lights, I'll fade to black
Maybe this time no laugh track
'Cause I'm done there, and I've been bad
I should be happy where I'm at

All I want is someone who will wait around while I am gone
And is it wrong to have a fear of missing out on moving on?

I've been so busy screaming into the void
When really I was making a choice
To be just one more lonely, sad boy
Missing the point

Wish it was easier done than said
Honestly don't know what it is I expect
'Cause I never heard the boy on the screen beg
Guess that's life, and man, I should get over it
Oh, get over it
Get over it
Get over it
