about

I'm from the Midwest. Southern Illinois actually. This is a song about how it's hard to connect with people here because everyone seems so determined to get out of here.

lyrics

All our roots are shallow because we will never call this home
we wait our whole lives for the wind to take us someplace we can grow.

I see the face of friends in the faces of strangers
slight resemblances to past acquaintances
they pass by without second glances
my old friends would do the same
i've seen everyone that I've ever known
slip right through my fucking fingers
i could promise somebody the world
but all i'm doing is clipping their wings.
