Текст песни Massachusetts - Jensen McRae

When someone tells me they're from Massachusetts
Now I always ask, "What part?"
I wonder if you kept the pilgrim ashtray
If it's still propped up on your bar cart
Could make a grand off of the chain you bought me
But goddamn, it's not for sale
When someone asks me who's my favorite Batman
I'll think of you and say, "Christian Bale"

As long as I live, I'll remember the names
Of your favorite beers and your video games
The look on your face when you turned 26
And your dad got too stoned, yeah, that one's gonna stick
You broke me to pieces, but I root for you
Even though everything went up in flames
I'll never forget how I bloomed for your gaze
Or your wall of guitars or your video games
Or your video games
Or your video games

Pick up your phrases, now I say, "It's aces," but it always sounds so fake
I wonder if your tongue is turning over anything I used to say
Your sister's trying for a baby lately and your parents got new jobs
It's getting darker, so I turn you down, but I can't turn you off, oh-oh

As long as I live, I'll remember the names
Of your favorite beers and your video games
The look on your face when you turned 26
And your dad got too stoned, yeah, that one's gonna stick
You broke me to pieces, but I root for you
Even though everything went up in flames
I'll never forget how I bloomed for your gaze
Or your wall of guitars or your video games
Or your video games
Or your video games

At least I'm treading water and not about to drown
I'm not trying to find you, babe, you're just around
Everything reminds me of you, even now
Even now, even now

As long as I live, I'll remember the names
Of your favorite beers and your video games
The fire in my gut that I've chased ever since
You set the bar, you're gonna stick
