everything's bigger

speedy ortiz

the lion's just like me

he's a twin

and i was a twin

although his twin grew up

so i must join the stage of

awful singles hyperventilating

we head up to vermont for a couple days

you say the name of a state when horror's underway

so you might escape back to a place where horror stays away

still

you might escape

me

i'm just like my wife

she's a blade and i'm a dull knife

turned up in a bouquet

and we get red for days

soaking through our silk and unbathed

we head up to vermont

and i don't know whose call it was that i should share a life

with someone who resembles me and copies my speech

down to every lisp and slur i practiced to put on

it's hard to keep a dialect when you keep changing where you come from

and that's a place where horrors fade away

so you might escape back to a place where horror fades away

still you might escape back to a place where horrors underway

so you might escape back to a place where horror stays away

still

you might escape

guess i could just get set up with someone's got my given name
