Sullen Hearts

By the time I pen this note
I know I've already made my decision
To fly rather than fight
Cause that's always been my nature

And I will probably shed a tear or two
Across state lines at a rest stop
Somewhere sunny
Someplace new

And all you sullen hearts need never
To collect your spirits and roam from
Town to town directing traffic with your eyes
From diner porches and the coffee shops
All the locals love to hate
Cause that's my fate

And I'm increasingly disillusioned by my own
Attempts to pick up all the pieces that I have dropped
Along my way. The more I think the more circles I turn
The more dizzy I get, I'm up in my head and it never
Ends well when I get back out

And all you sullen hearts
All you sullen hearts
All you sullen hearts

And all you sullen hearts need never
To collect your spirits and roam from
Town to town directing traffic with your eyes
From diner porches and the coffee shops
All the locals love to hate
Cause that's my fate

I'm spilling my guts
I'm making a fuss
Just flailing my arms
Trying to be noticed
Too small to be humble
Too big to be coy
Too young to man up
Too old to be a boy

And all you sullen hearts
All you sullen hearts
All you sullen hearts

And all you sullen hearts need never
To collect your spirits and roam from
Town to town directing traffic with your eyes
From diner porches and the coffee shops
All the locals love to hate
Cause that's my fate

That's my fate
