When someone tells me they're from Massachusetts

I'll think of you and say Christian Bale

As long as I live I'll remember the names

And your dad got too stoned, yeah that one's gonna stick

You broke me to pieces but I root for you

Even though everything went up in flames

I'll never forget how I bloomed for your gaze

Pick up your phrases, now I say it's aces

But it always sounds so fake

Anything I used to say

Your sister's trying for a baby lately

And your parents got new jobs

But I can't turn you off

At least I'm treading water and not about to drown

I'm not trying to find you, babe you're just around

Everything reminds me of you even now
