tomorrow I am leaving for Baltimore
you think I act like Harry Potter
like you're Voldemort
I don't care what you said
you didn't mean it like I did
don't even start with me
turn up the heat, turn up the heat
or get out the kitchen
you're like vegan cheese!
try as I might, you never melt for me
it wasn't quite as funny at the time
now in ten minutes
I will be ten minutes away
part of me thinks I should go back
to the folk-punk house and stay
everybody was so nice there
there were lots of heavy things that stayed in place
and I wish that this was more like that
but when you feel held back, you slip away
and really, I get that
sometimes i also feel that way
but I'm older now and I know this now
it's a game and I can't play
because I shoot for the impossible
knowing that it won't come
and you'd think I would know better
now that I am twenty one
I've been bored, I've been so bored
and I've been numb and dumb
and I'm still pretty young
besides I'm really getting so adept
at preventing my own happiness
complacency breeds latency
in that space it sits deep in my chest
and the thing that beats
beneath your breast, has been at rest
but I try my best
to see how close I can get to it
because I get productive when I get upset, hey
so now in ten minutes I will be ten minutes away
part of me thinks I should leave right now
but I sit back and wait
I've been bored, I've been so bored
and I've been looking for a little bit of heartache
but tomorrow I am leaving
for Baltimore
where it won't bother me
not in Baltimore
tomorrow I am leaving for Baltimore
once more
