Mal Blum - Iowa lyrics

Winter is listless and I’m a
Little bit like it
I can’t seem to sit still but
I can’t seem to move
And everyone I meet is a little bit like me
Keep selling me something you
Don’t need to prove
You keep selling me something you
Don’t need to prove

And if I don’t like it, I’ll move to Iowa
‘cause I’ve got no problem with places unseen
It’s the ones that I’ve loved like
The curve of your collar bone careful, now
Careful or they don’t let you leave
It keeps getting better but some
Days it feels worse
I don’t know what to conquer
To determine my worth
I try roadways and I mark
The map where I’ve been
In my doorway but I always
Come back here again
In my doorway but I always
Come back here again

Singing: if I don’t like it
I’ll move to Iowa
‘cause I’ve got no problem with places unseen
It’s the ones that I’ve lost
Like a New York apartment
You walked down the staircase
Still looking at me
You walked down the staircase and
I let you leave i let you leave

I don’t think they notice
How lonesome I’ve gotten
I learn about fashion to
Dress up my self-loathing
But in the morning how I wake up
And I give it my best to be honest
And kind and try not to regress
Besides, I know that the solace
In sadness is talk
Whether singing or sobbing or swearing it off
So I keep my eyes open keep
A hand on my heart
Say I’m bold brave and forthright
And it isn’t my fault no it’s not
(my fault) no it’s not
(my fault)

And if I don’t like it I’ll move to Iowa
‘cause I’ve got no problem with places unseen
It’s the ones that I’ve known like a
Cold city winter blow like a blizzard
(the wind in the trees)
Blow like a blizzard (me and my needs)
Blow like a blizzard and please, pass over me
