I'm gonna paint this town up, yeah
with big old strokes of blue,
Oh, I've been running, I've been running,
I'm not running back to you
And I'd waste all my money on a
Plane Ticket to Baltimore.
I'm scouring your letter for
One hint of who you are now
A misrepresentation,
A collage viewed from afar,
And now I know that I
Cannot remember you like you remember me.
And all this time that's gone by
Feels like a movie when I'm sailing through the sky.
And I'd be happy to not see or hear it anymore,
Baltimore.
Baltimore.
All these thoughts are fading
Like some star that's burning out,
Like my story's too complex for me,
I can't tell what it's about.
And you were a supporting role killed off
Before the lead was even introduced.
And all this time that's gone by
Feels like a movie when I'm sailing through the sky.
And I'd be happy to not see or hear it anymore,
Baltimore.
Baltimore.
And I'm fighting off the urge
To let you win and just write back,
Oh I've been counting down the seconds 'til
The credits fade to black.
And I thought I saw your name, but don't remember what it was,
I only felt the sting.
And all this time that's gone by
Feels like a movie when I'm sailing through the sky.
And I'd be happy to not see or hear it anymore,
Baltimore.
Baltimore.
