Bleachers - 91 Lyrics
Official




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
yeah, she's here, but she's not
Just like her, I'm not home
Just like her, I'm not home
Just like her, I'm not home

Yeah, I'm here, but I'm not
Just like her, I'm not home
Hey, I'm here, but I'm not

Storefronts change, new war on
So I rip floorboards from our place
Black out all our windows, then I kick them from their frames
Now, you can dance with anyone
Tattoo yourself a f*cking sleeve
And you're here but you're not
Just like you, I can't leave
Just like you, I can't leave
Just like you, I can't leave

And I'm here, but I'm not
Just like you, I can't leave
I'm here, but I've been gone just a little too long now

(Everything that happened)
(Everything that happened)
(Everything that happened)

Oh, someone new walks along
Steals the weight from your war
Flickers of light, and you're sure
That you have been here before
Oh, she could have anyone
But she's asking after your dreams
Yeah, I know what I'm not
But looking at you, I can't leave

Just like you, I can't leave
Just like you, I can't leave

Oh, I know what I'm not
Just like you, I can't leave
I know what I'm not
Just like you, I can't leave
I'm here, but I'm not (we've been gone just a little too long now)
Just like you, I can't leave
I'm here but I'm not
Just like you, I can't leave

We've been gone just a little too long now
