Bleachers - 91 lyrics

It's '91, a war is on
I watch in black, white and green
My mother dances around like there ain't
No rip in the seam
While she waltzes with ghosts
I can feel what went wrong
She's here, but she's not
Just like her, I'm not home

Just like her, I'm not home
Just like her, I'm not home
I'm here, but I'm not
Just like her, I'm not home
I'm here, but I'm not

Storefronts change a new war on
So I rip floorboards from our place
Black out all our windows and then
I kick them from their frames
Now you can dance with anyone
Tattoo yourself a fucking sleeve
And you're here but you're not
Just like you, I can't leave

Just like you, I can't leave
Just like you, I can't leave
Hey, I'm here, but I'm not
Just like you, I can't leave i'm here
But I've been gone just a little too long now

Oh, someone new walks along
Steals the weight from your war
Flickers of light and you're sure that
You have been here before
Oh, she could have anyone
But she's asking after your dreams
Yeah, I know what I'm not
But looking at you, I can't leave

Just like you, I can't leave
Just like you, I can't leave
Oh, I know what I'm not
Just like you, I can't leave
I know what I'm not
Just like you, I can't leave
I'm here, but I'm not
Just like you, I can't leave
(We've been gone just a little too long now)
I'm here, but I'm not
Just like you, I can't leave

(I'm here, but I'm not)
(Just like you, I can't leave)
We've been gone just a little too long now
