Sunshine State Lyrics by Dashboard Confessional
Feel like I’m dying
Or I’m half dead anyway
Too many dark days
Strung out in the sunshine state
I was almost a kid there
But I grew up fast and hard
I guess you make all kinds of mistakes
Before you find out who you are
Feel like I’m fighting
To hold onto something dear
Too many friends I loved
Let go when things got real
One left me these secrets
I’ve been carrying around
‘Cause she said to protect ’em
And I will not let her down
I wish I could tell you
Just how beautiful she feels
I wish I could tell you I’ve been
With her all these years
I wish I could tell you
She’ll come back
For me one day
But she’s
In a better place
And I’m stuck in
In the sunshine state
The sunshine state
Feels like I’m lying
When I say that place is home
‘Cause it feels like it’s
Keeping who I was
From where I’m going
I am almost a kid here
When I’m playing fast and loud
Come tomorrow I’ll be halfway gone
But I’m all the way here right now
I wish I could tell you
Just how beautiful she feels
I wish I could tell you I’ve been
With her all these years
I wish I could tell you
She’ll come back
For me one day
But she’s
In a better place
And I’m stuck in
In the sunshine state
The sunshine state
The sunshine state
The sunshine state
