Definitions from Water Bodies by Sister City

Definitions

Ten thousand dollars, a car, a degree
To get out of this State, that’s all I need
Goodbye parasitic friends, bigotry
Thanks for using me to make your lives more interesting
I’ve suffered a gradual drastic change
I’ve lost my faith, my place, and my name
Every inclination of who I wanted to be
I’m gonna need a change of scenery

I’m homeless in the house I grew up in
I’m lonely in the hang-outs I defined myself in
My friends are content to stay where they’ve been
As for me, my patience is wearing thin

I gotta get out

It’s not that the late night diner lost its fun
Coastlines signify my best is yet to come
But there’re a few years left to pass before I go
So don’t worry, this isn’t the end of the rock and roll

I’m homeless in the house I grew up in
I’m lonely in the hang-outs I defined myself in
My friends are content to stay where they’ve been
As for me, my patience is wearing thin

I gotta get out
