Cooped Up

(album: Dynamite - 2016)

You've been cooped up way too long
It's obvious you're jaded
Couldn't just leave you all alone and risk your colors fading
I miss when you would smile
You know it's been awhile
We'd laugh for hours driving slower to enjoy the miles

Pack all your shit and let's get out of here
Call all your friends and say we'll be back next year
And when they try to call your phone tell 'em
You're not coming home till it seems as if we've disappeared

We've all had times when we've felt insignificant
Accept our fates like we've never had a say in it
Years go by wasting time, I know I was a slave
But somehow in this town there's no drive to escape

You've been cooped up way too long
It's obvious you're jaded
Couldn't just leave you all alone and risk your colors fading
I miss when you would smile
You know it's been awhile
We'd laugh for hours driving slower to enjoy the miles

Pack all your shit and let's get out of here
Call all your friends and say we'll be back next year
And when they try to call your phone tell 'em
You're not coming home till it seems as if we've disappeared

I can tell you're thinking too hard
Then again that's just who you are
Maybe it will change your mind
When you see me packing up my car
I've been too low to lie in it
Feel like I'm dying inside and I'm trying to take you with me

You've been cooped up way too long
It's obvious you're jaded
Couldn't just leave you all alone and risk your colors fading
I miss when you would smile
You know it's been awhile
We'd laugh for hours driving slower to enjoy the miles

Pack all your shit and let's get out of here
Call all your friends and say we'll be back next year
And when they try to call your phone tell 'em
You're not coming home till it seems as if we've disappeared
