Waking Up In Oklahoma Lyrics

I worry my parents with my lyrics

I Guess they're sad as fuck

But I'll take being viewed as dramatic

Over a whole EP where my lyrics suck

Half the time Is spent on finding out who I want to be

The other half is spent on wondering if I know the real me

I think I know where my problems stem from

But I could be all wrong

Who knew 6 months could last three years

And you'd still be in my songs

It feels like I'm in a race where I routinely come in last

But at least I'm past my New England days

Shitfaced in my theory class

And I don't know where I'm going

At least I also don't know where I want to go

And I live in confusion

Cuz my brain is off and wondering what the hell it is that I don't know

And in the mirror I'm saying it's nice to know ya

If I had some confidence I could show ya

That's what you get for waking up in Oklahoma

It's all an uphill battle with my friends all by my side

I'm boring you with my problems

So they end up oversimplified

My answers never matter, they know what the want to hear

"It's great to be back home, but I can't wait to blow it up next year"

And I don't know where I'm going

At least I also don't know where I want to go

And I live in confusion,

Cuz my brain is off and wondering what the hell it is that I don't know

And in the mirror I'm saying it's nice to know ya

If I had some confidence I could show ya

That's what you get for waking up in Oklahoma

Blame it on the nights where I'm routinely woken up

Cuz my brain is busy wondering if my two fans think I'm woke enough

Blame it on the days when I hate the art I love

Blame it on the days when I walk to class

And then it's cold and I forgot to wear my gloves

And I don't know where I'm going

At least I also don't know where I want to go

And I don't know where I'm going

At least I also don't know where I want to go

And I live in confusion

Cuz my brain is off and wondering what the hell it is that I don't know

And in the mirror I'm saying it's nice to know ya

If I had some confidence I could show ya

That's what you get for waking up in Oklahoma
