Midwest Kid

I wanna get lost in the ocean
Where no one knows my name
And all of my confusion
Can wash out in a wave

I wanna go back to my front yard
Just laughing like a child
The sun over my warm skin
Haven't felt that for a while, for a while

And all my fears I can't let go
And I've been holding on for way too long
And you don't believe me, you never did
I'm just another broken, messed-up midwest kid

I found you sprawled on the same floor
Where I took my first steps
I swear I thought she would die
Goodbye to innocence, in a sense

And all my fears I can't let go
And I've been holding on for way too long
And you don't believe me, you never did
I'm just another broken messed up midwest kid

And all the nights that I couldn't sleep, the secrets that I couldn't keep
It all comes rushing back to me, I can't escape, even in my dreams
Oh, all the nights that I couldn't sleep, the secrets that I couldn't keep
It all comes rushing back to me, it all comes rushing back

'Cause all my fears I can't let go
And I've been holding on for way too long
And you don't believe me, you never did
I'm just another broken, messed-up midwest kid

Ooh-whoa, oh-whoa
Ooh-whoa, oh-whoa
Ooh-whoa, oh-whoa
Ooh-whoa, oh-whoa (ooh)
