Rex Orange County Guitar Song Lyrics

I was down and out in San Fran, hopin' they could make the drive
I was a lonely stoner, I was always taking time
I wasn't safe for a second, I'm closing my eyes
I never felt at home until I got old and realised

I remember being sixteen, didn't know a thing with open eyes
I couldn't take the pain but I was old enough to try
Looking at my reflection and wanting to die
I didn't like what I was seeing when I had hoped I might

(Hope my body change, I can't stay this way, I'm the only one)
Now I'm in pieces tryna leave but I can't (That's running in circles)
I'm doubting my outfit, I'm doubting the way I look
Then she tells me, "You look great," but it hurts just the same
I didn't know at an early age
I can try, but I won't be in peace in my place
And though, I can go compare myself to them
It doesn't help me much in the end, no

Can't go far
And I can't go far
And they can't go far
And they can't go far
