91 lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's '91, a war is on

I watch in black, white and green

My mother dances around like there ain't no rip in the seam

While she waltzes with ghosts, I can feel what went wrong

She's here, but she's not

Just like her, I'm not home

[Chorus]

Just like her, I'm not home

Just like her, I'm not home

I'm here, but I'm not

Just like her, I'm not home

I'm here, but I'm not

[Verse 2]

Storefronts change a new war on

So I rip floorboards from our place

Black out all our windows and then I kick them from their frames

Now you can dance with anyone

Tattoo yourself a fucking sleeve

And you're here but you're not

Just like you, I can't leave

[Chorus]

Just like you, I can't leave

Just like you, I can't leave

Hey, I'm here, but I'm not

Just like you, I can't leave

I'm here, but I've been gone just a little too long now

[Verse 3]

Oh, someone new walks along, steals the weight from your war

Flickers of light and you're sure that you have been here before

Oh, she could have anyone, but she's asking after your dreams

Yeah, I know what I'm not

But looking at you, I can't leave

[Chorus]

Just like you, I can't leave

Just like you, I can't leave

Oh, I know what I'm not

Just like you, I can't leave

I know what I'm not

Just like you, I can't leave

I'm here, but I'm not

Just like you, I can't leave

(We've been gone just a little too long now)

I'm here, but I'm not

Just like you, I can't leave

[Outro]

(I'm here, but I'm not)

(Just like you, I can't leave)

We've been gone just a little too long now
