Mitski Townie Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a party and we're all going
And we're all growing up
Somebody's driving and he will be drinking
And no one's going back
'Cause we've tried hungry and we've tried full
And nothing seems enough
So tonight, tonight, the boys are gonna go for more, more, more

[Chorus]
And I want a love that falls as fast as a body from the balcony
And I wanna kiss like my heart is hitting the ground
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
[Verse 2]
Smell that, it's wet grass, and smoke in my hair
I think I've had enough
But he wants a finale and I came prepared
And we're not going back
And I've tried sharing and I've tried caring
And I've tried putting out But the boys, boys, boys keep coming on for more, more, more
And change, change, change is gonna come, but when, when, when?

[Chorus]
And I want a love that falls as fast as a body from the balcony, and
I wanna kiss like my heart is chasing me down
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

[Chorus]
And I want a love that falls as fast as a body from the balcony, and
I wanna kiss like my heart is hitting the ground
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

[Outro]
I'm not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
I wanna be what my body wants me to be
