the state of

We used to talk about Spain And all of the people you hate And she was one of them Did you forget about that Remember that talk in your car You said her eyes were too far apart Guess you're over it now Funny how it turned out Now here we are a whole year later And she's the one you seem to favor It's just so strange The way things changed Took her to our favorite places While you put on a happy face And keep tabs on me Lying through your teeth So now I hate the state of Jersey And all the things I thought we could be Thought love would last forever And now my heart knows better Now I stay away from train tracks The painful memories they play back I'm stuck here in the static So over the dramatics I still hear the words you said When she wasn't a threat Now she's naked in your bed So I thought I'd write this instead To get you out my head Now who's the one upset Every time I hear your street I connect with the people I meet Did they play hockey as kids I bet they know your sister Thought we'd hold hands in Madrid And argue how we'd raise our kids But I was so naive I never thought you'd leave So now I hate the state of Jersey And all the things I thought we could be Thought love would last forever And now my heart knows better Now I stay away from train tracks The painful memories they play back I'm stuck here in the static So over the dramatics I still hear the words you said When she wasn't a threat Now she's naked in your bed So I thought I'd write this instead To get you out my head Now who's the one upset Why do I look out for you Hoping you'll come back home soon But I'm happier now I hope you don't have doubts
