lyrics
you said you couldn't feel much anymore
the voice on the loudspeaker said stand clear of the closing door
well, new york city. 2015.
my hair is dirty, the streets are clean
and it reminded me of the coldest winter
and your little sister back when no one believed her
she was better off, because faith corrupts
you stepped out of the train and stepped on a cigarette butt
and oh, me
oh me
unhappiness caught up with me
i was living on nothing, living for free
i would get up in the morning and nothing greeted me
washington d.c., 2015
my hair is dirty, i'm better left unseen
and it reminded me of the hottest summer
and your missing mother, how you feared you'd become her
and i thought about how far you'd come
and how much you'd done just to prove you weren't gone
and oh me
oh me
unhappiness caught up with me
ghosts of our childhood, ghosts of the midwest
i swore next time i saw you i'd get something off my chest
men, women, and children, dead heroes single file
my hair is dirty, i wish i could smile
and it reminded me of that fatal spring
and the fall that took it all as though it didn't mean a thing
unhappiness, 2015
it was where we lived, it was the air we breathed
and oh, me
oh me
i think it's catching up with me
oh me
oh me
i hope that you catch up with me
