about

For my ma. My double.

Being back in the suburbs is always a weird one. Then all of a sudden it isn't? You find your rhythm, waiting on the yellow lines in Secaucus, ignoring the people who are visibly afraid of a girl with orange hair or a suit or whatever. The suburbs are great for character definition.

lyrics

oh to be home
living in ambiguity
spilled coffee on my sleeves again
walk the yellow lines
and I'll feed that other side of me
and see if that other side is a friend

oh to be lonely,
but home is so lovely when I'm with you
come see the other side of me,
see the other side

cut my teeth with the rich girls
just to see if that shoe would fit, girl,
and I see inside of your world
like a fixed manger scene
I don't want to feel important
I just want a place to hide
but you've come to my shelter
like a moth to light

oh to be lonely,
but home is so lovely when I'm with you
come see the other side of me,
see the other side

two-tall-tales, two-tall-tales
and I'm stuck in the mirror
with my past, passing behind me
and I can't seem to find the end
I'm drifting closer to the edge

oh to be lonely,
but home is so lovely when I'm with you
come see the other side of me,
see the other side
