I Love Living Here (Even When I Don’t)
Neon signs welcome you home
All the lights half blown out and old
Broken down palaces by the Oceanside
I love living here even when I don’t
At the bar, strangers inside
With some friends barely recognized
No one knows the real you
Just the character you play
Start the scene, act out
Then push away
Everytime I pass by
Please don’t feel obliged
You don’t have to say hi
Every single time
Just walk on by
Just walk on by
Broken down palaces by the Oceanside
It’s a beat up little town
I wanna burn it to the ground
But I love living here, even when I don’t
