My mom likes to travel in and out of the state
And she's gone from the middle there and back to home plate
Everywhere she goes she's got a memory to find
And when she gets back home she makes the memories mine
I've never been to Bonita Beach
I've never been to Wilmington, North Carolina
She likes to get me little trinkets
And I've got no choice but to wear it
Can't remember the place but I remember the name
It's not the same as going to China
But the fabric's the same no matter where it was claimed
So I'm gonna keep sporting the line
Of Souvenir shirts
Got a laundry list of the places I've allegedly been
I can tell you where I got them as a present but I can't tell you when
So I'll wear them to the places that they say when I finally go
But until that day I'll be wearing these T-shirts at home
I like to get them just as presents
Even though I've never been present
Can't remember the place but I remember the name
It's not the same as North Carolina
but the fabric's the same no matter where it was claimed
So I'm gonna keep sporting the line

Yeah she's the Quarantine Queen
She keeps her distance and she tries to stay clean
But I don't know
How long to go
We could be in here 'til we start to see snow
What these, they're pizzas with cheese
I buy in bulk because I've got to stay cheap
And I don't share
Cause I don't care
It doesn't matter because life don't play fair
Yeah she's the Quarantine Queen
Some soap and water and her hands are pristine
For my whole life
I'm stuck inside
We'll sit together and we'll take it in stride

Where is the remote
When I need it most
I don't want to get up
Not today
The curtains are pulled shut
The sun peeks through to tell me 'So what'
I don't wanna even try
In front of my eyes
I only see the TV light
Don't wanna even leave the couch
What's the news say
Everything's the same as last week
Just another couple months from now
Well that's okay because I'm getting used to being here and soaking in the sights and all the sounds
Commercial Time now
I have a minute to move around
It kind of sucks but now it's time to feel alright cause
Artificial sunlight is projected to my eyes
It's an okay substitution just to get me through tonight
The tension of contestants makes me feel so alive
So I'll just keep sitting here until the condensation dries
TV movie
On today
Hope the end will be okay
Commercial Time now
I have a minute to move around
It kind of sucks but now it's time to feel alright cause
Artificial sunlight is projected to my eyes
It's an okay substitution just to get me through tonight
The tension of contestants makes me feel so alive
So I'll just keep sitting here until the condensation dries

I'm at a social gathering alone
Just staring into the unknown
All I can do it look at my phone
and not think of how I wanna go home
I get inside my head too deep
Don't wanna come off like a freak
Vote of no self confidence
I don't have the spine for this
And if I think of things that I would want to say
Just hope my head doesn't get in the way
I try not to look into myself
When i listen to somebody else
They always know when my mind zones out
Because I don't know what we're talking about
I probably look nervous
It goes under the surface
Vote of no self confidence
I don't have the spine for this
And if I think of things that I want to say
Just hope my mouth doesn't get in the way

Laurel Mountain

Going up via minivan
Going down via crash and land
As you can see, I don't know how to ski
But you know the problem's not with you, it's with me
I don't know if I can go back from the top
It's a lot for me to even stand up
In this slippery snow that is not gonna stop
I am marked by the mountain like I'm hit with a mop
Money for the weekend that we got as a gift
But we got it from your parents and I don't want them to be miffed
You can't make me I'm staying on the lift
I'm staying on the lift
But I'm having a great time
I don't wanna make you cry
Now you help me to get down
And the snow it feels so soft
Laurel Mountain I can't go without it
And there's no way around it cause the only way is down it
There are no surprises but it still gives me the chills
When I think about the angles of those devastating hills
You say not to worry then you look me in the eye
But this mountain's gonna kill me and it's where I'm gonna lie
Better do it kind of quickly and I let out with a sigh
I don't want to die
But I'm having a great time
I don't wanna make you cry
