91 (Explicit)

Lyrics by：Jack Antonoff

Composed by：Jack Antonoff/Zadie Smith

It's '91 a war is on

I watch in black white and green

My mother dances aroundlikethere ain't norip in the seam

While she waltzeswith ghosts

I can feel what went wrong

She's here but she's not

Justlike her I'mnot home

Just like her I'm not home

Just like her I'm not home

I'm herebut I'm not

Just like her I'm not home

Hey I'm here but I'm not

Storefronts change a new war on

So I rip floorboards from our place

Black out all our windows and then I kick them from their frames

Now you can dance with anyone

Tattoo yourself a f**king sleeve

And you're here but you're not

Just like you I can't leave

Just like you I can't leave

Just like you I can't leave

Hey I'm here but I'm not

Just like you I can't leave

I'm here but I've been gone just a little too long now

Oh someone new walks along

Steals the weight from your war

Flickers of light

And you're sure that you have been here before

Oh she could have anyone

But she's asking after your dreams

Yeah I know what I'm not

But looking at you I can't leave

Just like you I can't leave

Just like you I can't leave

Oh I know what I'm not

Just like you I can't leave

I know what I'm not

Just like you I can't leave

I'm here but I'm not

We've been gone just a little too long now

Just like you I can't leave

I'm here but I'm not

We've been gone just a little too long now
