Bleachers 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
Yeah, I'm here, but I'm not

[Verse 2]
Storefronts change and the 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
You could tattoo yourself a f*cking sleeve
‘Cause 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
And I'm here, but I'm not
I'm here, but I'm not
[Verse 3]
Then someone new comes along, steals the weight from your war
Flickers a light, and you're sure that you have been here before
She could have anyone, but she's asking after your dreams
Hey, 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
Well, I'm here, but I'm not
I'm here, but I'm not

[Outro]
Said we've been gone just a little too long now
We've been gone just a little too long now
