Ohio - Jacob Whitesides

Ohio Lyrics

At 14 I used to talk to myself
Paint my bedroom with stars,
One for each time my dad flaked out
I got a galaxy of scars
You know that feeling that you get when ya
Start to run out of breath and ya
Pass out wake up wig out not knowing where you are
I'm safer here inside my submarine
Cause when I'm underwater you can't say anything
I can't hear anything
Ohio
I don't need Hollywood
I don't need New York heights or Las Vegas lights
I need Ohio
Never even been there
But I'd rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio

Ohio
Ohio
Ohi
Last time I saw your face you were screaming that I don't have a clue
I'm not a deadbeat piece of shit dad I'll never learn that from you
You know that feeling when you're weak and ya
Wish your brain could delete for ya
All the toxic twisted contradictions that I've worked so hard to lose
I'm safer right here inside my submarine
Cause when I'm underwater you can't throw words at me
I'm just learning how to leave
Ohio
I don't need Hollywood
I don't need New York heights or Las Vegas lights
I need Ohio
Never even been there
But I'd rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Growing up
And we're all dying
Growing up
And we're all trying
Growing up
And we're all dying
Growing up
And we're all trying
Growing up
And we're all dying
Growing up
And we're all trying
Ohio
I don't need Hollywood
I don't need New York heights or Las Vegas lights
I need Ohio
Never even been there
But I'd rather fall asleep in an open field in
Ohio
