"i'd rather be in michigan" lyrics

Long Island's lonely
I can't take it anymore
I'm waiting for the waves
To come along
And freeze me to the shore

I'm not sure that I've been sleeping
But I swear that I'm alright
So here's to one more night
Of running out
Of ways to kill the time

And all my friends say
We're just one big family
When I'm spending time around them
It feels like no one's here but me
If I think a little harder
Then I might just crack the case
But I'm afraid that if I stick around
It could all just be a waste

Just because I think it
Doesn't mean I think it's true
So I'm holding out for one more night
Of holding onto you
And I swear if you could spare me
Just a second of your time
Then your gaze could hold me steady
While your words crash into mine

While you're walking
Through your city full of lights
I'll sit back and let this highway
Turn these darkened days to nights
I think of all the miles
Separating me from home
And wonder why I'm in a hurry
To get back and be alone

It's been a while
Since I've
Remembered what it's like to be here
I was covered in glass
And lying on the stairs
Waking up
Running fingers through knotted hair
Self medicating
Bordering on self aware
