Shirley Temples lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dad left early for the mountains
Mom drove to Essex to run errands
Ian lives downtown
In a complex with four friends
It's been two months since graduation
I eat and sleep and do my makeup
Designated driver at the gay club

[Pre-Chorus]
My life is ruled by common sense
And low alcohol tolerance
There are less and less things I'm afraid of

[Chorus]
Shirley Temples and a lease I've yet to sign
Bite my nails down I-89
I hate the feeling that there is some debt to be repaid
That for whatever reason, I owe this place

[Verse 2]
I lie down on Randi's floor
Teach myself to play new chords
I call my college friends
And say, "I wish I could teleport"
But at least it doesn't hurt to be here anymore
[Chorus]
Shirley Temples and a lease I've yet to sign
Bite my nails down I-89
I hate the feeling that there is some debt to be repaid
That for whatever reason, I owe this place

[Bridge]
Nothing feels as big as it used to
It doesn't burrow down in my tissue
Funny how the weight lifts
When there's nothing left to prove
I am who I was back then
I am still the teacher's kid
I guess that home was a space I had to grow into

[Outro]
Funny how the weight lifts
When there's nothing left to prove
Nothing left to prove
Nothing left to prove
Nothing left to prove
Nothing left to prove
