Baltimore Lyrics

Tomorrow, I am leaving for Baltimore
You think I act like Harry Potter, like you're Voldemort
I don't care what you said, you didn't mean it like I did
Don't even start
With me

Turn up the heat, turn up the heat
Please get out the kitchen
You're like vegan cheese: try as I might, you never melt for me
It wasn't quite as funny at the time.

Now in ten minutes, I will be ten minutes away
Part of me thinks I should go back to the folk-punk house and stay
Everybody was so nice there
There were lots of heavy things that stayed in place

And I wish that this was more like that
But when you feel held back, you slip away
And really, I get that, 'cause sometimes I also feel that way
But I'm older now and I know this now
It's a game, it's a game, it's a game, and I can't play
Hey hey

'Cause I shoot for the impossible knowing that it won't come
And you think I would know better now that I am twenty-one
I've been bored, I've been so bored
And I've been numb and dumb and also pretty young.

Besides, I'm really getting so adept at preventing my own happiness
Complacency breeds latency in that space it sits deep in my chest
And the thing that beats beneath your breast has been at rest but I try my best
To see how close I can get to it, 'cause I get productive when I get upset
Hey

So now, in tend minutes, I will be ten minutes away
Part of me thinks I should leave right now, but I sit back and stay
I've been bored, I've been so bored
And I've been looking for a little bit of heartache

Baltimore
Baltimore
Baltimore
Baltimore

Baltimore
Tomorrow, I am leaving for Baltimore
Where it won't bother me bother me in
Baltimore
Tomorrow, I am leaving for Baltimore
Once more

Baltimore
Tomorrow, I am leaving for Baltimore
Where it won't bother me, bother me, not in
Baltimore
Tomorrow, I am leaving for Baltimore
Once more

Tomorrow, I am leaving for Baltimore
You think I act like Harry Potter, but you're Voldemort
I don't care what you said, you didn't mean it like I did
Don't even start.
