  • I'm in the city you hated
    My eyes have fallen
    Counting the clicks with the living dead
    My eyes are red

    I'm in the crush and I hate it
    My eyes have fallen
    I'm having trouble inside my skin
    I'll try to keep my skeletons in

    Is it weird to be back in the south?
    And can they even tell
    That the city girl was ever there or anywhere?

    I'm having trouble inside my skin
    I'll try to keep my skeletons in
    I'll be a friend and a fuck-up and everything
    But I'll never be
    Anything you ever want me to be

    I keep coming back here where everything slipped, ah-ah-ah
    But I will not spill my guts out, ah
    I keep coming back here where everything slipped, ah-ah-ah
    But I will not spill my guts out, ah, ah

    I don't need any help to be breakable, believe me
    I know nobody else who can laugh along to any kind of joke
    I won't need any help to be lonely when you leave me

    It'll be easy to cover
    Gather my skeletons far inside
    It'll be summer in Dallas
    Before I realize, ah

    I don't want you to grieve but I want you to sympathize, alright
    I can't blame you for losing your mind for a little while, so did I
    I don't want you to change but I want you to recognize, that I

    It'll be easy to cover
    Gather your skeletons far inside
    It'll be summer in Dallas before you realize
    That I'll never be
    Anything you ever want me to be

    I keep coming back here where everything slipped, ah-ah-ah
    But I will not spill my guts out, ah
    I keep coming back here where everything slipped, ah-ah-ah
    But I will not spill my guts out, ah, ah Writer/s: Aaron Dessner, Matthew D. Berninger
