Play Something I Know

by June Swoon

/

lyrics

Ice skating on the rooftop
Underwater tea part(y)
Team is spelled with M-E
Salty lips and spray tanning
I could sail away any day
Any day

Toddlers with the nuclear key(s)
(Key)stone light and suffer(ing)
English is the bastard
Mother Earth is plugging her ears
I could float away any day
Any day

So play something I know
From my worst heartbreak to my last smoke
Play something I know
'Cause where I belong is inside of a song

Save some room for Jesus
In those fur-lined handcuffs
War is not the answer
Unless you’re asking funk bands’ names
I could spill the wine any time
And take that girl

Play something I know
From my first car barreling down the road
Play something I know
Cause where I belong is inside of a song
Play something I know
From my first rent check to my parents’ wedding song
Play something I know
Cause where I belong is inside of a song

Play something I know
That I can scream at the top of my lungs

Play something we know
That we can scream at the top of our lungs
Play something we know
Cause where we belong is inside of a song

My only home is inside of a song
My only country’s inside of a song
