Song Lyrics

There's a weight that's on my shoulders
Empty space inside
All the things our parents told us
Never truly leave our minds
All that tracks we form as children
And the habits that we've built
Only worsen as we get older, leave us unfulfilled

All the time that I wasted
Refusing to let you go
From every place I've been to the state I'm in
I needed to let you know, that you're not my home

Would I still feel awkward sober
Around people I don't know
Would I still not swim in public and hide behind my clothes
I guess the white skin that I'm covered in, and the country where I was born

All the time I wasted
Refusing to let you go
From every place I've been to the state I'm in
I needed to let you know
Because my minds made up
When I've had enough of the way that my face turns red
I said my minds made up
Yeah I've had enough, oh England get out of my head

I think I'll move 5000 miles down south towards the sea
'Cause the world isn't all just a vampire, England just might be
'Cause it wears me out, drains the joy
That I swear I had when I was a boy
But maybe that wasn't me
Just a memory, just a memory

All the time I wasted
Refusing to let you go
From every place I've been to the state I'm in
I needed to let you know
That my minds made up
When I've had enough of the way that my face turns red
I said my minds made up
Yeah I've had enough, oh England get out of my head
Get out of my head
