Feel like I'm dying or I'm half dead anyway
Too many dark days strung out in the sunshine state

I was almost a kid there
But I grew up fast and hard
I guess you make all kinds of mistakes
Before you find out who you are

Feel like I'm fighting
To hold onto something dear
Too many friends I loved
Let go when things got real

One left me these secrets
I've been carrying around
'Cause she said to protect 'em
And I will not let her down

I wish I could tell you
Just how beautiful she feels
I wish I could tell you I've been
With her all these years

I wish I could tell you
She'll come back for me one day

But she's in a better place
And I'm stuck here
In the sunshine state
The sunshine state

Feel like I'm lying
When I say that place is home
'Cause it feels like it's keeping who I was
From where I'm going

I am almost a kid here
When I'm playing fast and loud
Come tomorrow I'll be halfway gone
But I'm all the way here right now

I wish I could tell you
Just how beautiful she feels
I wish I could tell you I've been
With her all these years

I wish I could tell you
She'll come back for me one day

But she's in a better place
And I'm stuck here
In the sunshine state
The sunshine state

The sunshine state
The sunshine state
