"State Of You (Live)" lyrics

Thought I would run away
Hitchhike from place
Do something I ain't done before
Leave it all behind
But those familiar eyes caught me in the sliding doors

And oh, I'd be lying
If I said I wanted something new
But your spot on my horizon
And I can't pretend that I don't like the view

'Cause the minute that I got here and
The pavement down your street
Felt just like the stone on which I grew
You say your neighborhood's not pretty
But it looks perfect to me
I only plan on ever passing through
But now I wanna stay in the state of you
Oh-oh, state of you

So in our best overalls
Let's start to paint the walls
And tell the plaster from the cracks
I'll call my mother up
And give her all our love
But tell her I ain't coming back

And so I'm relying
On a feeling that I hope you're feeling too
So don't try to justify it
Just tell me where I should hang up my boots

'Cause the minute that I got here and
The pavement down your street
Felt just like the stone on which I grew
You say your neighborhood's not pretty
But it looks perfect to me
I only plan on ever passing through
But now I wanna stay in the state of you
State of you
State of you
Oh-oh, mm

'Cause the minute that I saw you
I'd found the place for me
And deep down, I believe I always knew
That I would walk around your city
And never choose to leave
I only plan on ever passing through
But now, here I am
In the state of you
