Nobody Stays Here Long

Buy a plane ticket
Buy a train ticket
Buy a bus ticket

See how long you stay

Go over the bridge
And back up on the highway
And take in the city
And say it's not pretty
And say it's not for you

See how long you can do this
Before you have to do it
Somewhere else

Tell yourself you're too urban
Or too rural
Or too creative
Or too claustrophobic
Or too reserved

Preserve yourself in possible scenarios
Date around, stick yourself to moving cars
Don't commit, you're leaving soon, aren't you?

Aren't you going soon?
Aren't you on your third
Going away party?

At what point will you actually just be
Gone?

Don't worry about us
We're used to it

Nobody stays here long
