about

ABOUT THE TRACK:
“Stuck Out Stateside” is a punchy pop-punk track that tells the story of finding your way back to the excitement and lust for life that we tend to lose as we journey into adulthood.

lyrics

LYRICS

We're sinking down, far beyond the shores
The surface sounds, like calling out the last memories
Where the roads I could see,
If it’s glory that you're chasing I'm complacent at the scene.

We're running on and on and on again,
Throats left hanging dry after just one last cigarette.
Now we're crawling on the walls again,
The punchline is where we end.

Let's take it back, to the days where I feel better
Swim through these seasons, waiting on the summer.
Your skin tight jeans, my worn out Vans,
Waltzing our way back to Neverland.

Now watch as I digress, like roaming far from bitterness
You wear that ego on your shoulder but it's stained like tainted glass
And I'm falling further, this lie - was it worth it?
The years I admired, the psychic was lying.

Let's take it back, to the days where I feel better
Swim through these seasons, waiting on the summer.
Your skin tight jeans, my worn out Vans,
Waltzing our way back to Neverland.

Fake it all to be alright, well
Bleeding eyes could never lie
Pacing out I'll meet you there
To find a place that's in my head
Fake it all to be alright, well
Bleeding eyes could never lie
Pacing out I'll meet you there
To find a place that's in my head

Let's take it back, to the days where I feel better
Swim through these seasons, waiting on the summer.
Your skin tight jeans, my worn out Vans,
Waltzing our way back to Neverland.

Drown my desires just to get by
Clench down your jaw and it's alright
Lie still with me on the state lines
Waking up and we're stuck out stateside.
