Feel like I'm dying
Or I'm half dead anyway
Too many dark days
Strung out in the sunshine state
I was almost a kid there

But I grew up fast and hard

I guess you make all kinds of mistakes

Before you find out who you are



Feel like I'm fighting

To hold onto something dear

Too many friends I loved

Let go when things got real



One left me these secrets

I've been carrying around

'Cause she said to protect 'em

And I will not let her down



I wish I could tell you

Just how beautiful she feels

I wish I could tell you I've been

With her all these years



I wish I could tell you

She'll come back

For me one day



But she's

In a better place

And I'm stuck in

In the sunshine state

The sunshine state



Feels like I'm lying

When I say that place is home

'Cause it feels like it's

Keeping who I was

From where I'm going



I am almost a kid here

When I'm playing fast and loud

Come tomorrow I'll be halfway gone

But I'm all the way here right now



I wish I could tell you

Just how beautiful she feels

I wish I could tell you I've been

With her all these years



I wish I could tell you

She'll come back

For me one day



But she's

In a better place

And I'm stuck in

In the sunshine state

The sunshine state



The sunshine state

The sunshine state
