Everything I Own Fits in This Backpack Lyrics

[Verse 3]
Nothing made me feel further away
Than Left and Leaving through a blown car stereo

Nothing made me feel closer to home
Than Ready to Die through my headphones

So we reached the coast
But where do we sleep tonight?
Damned if I know

We'll try to stay in the airport
Can't send us home and we got no place to go

[Chorus]
We moved on again, so
I packed my shit and left home
It's alright to think I still belong to something I don't
'Cause I could see why you'd think so
'Cause I could see why you'd think so

[Bridge]
Don't say it's up to me
Don't say it's up to me
Don't say it's up to me
Don't say
Don't say
The creaks in the floorboards are calling out to me
I'm lying here again
With my head on my backpack
Wrapped in my hoodie

This is how it is when
Don't say it's up to me
Don't say
[Chorus]
We moved on again, so
I packed my shit and left home
It's alright to think I still belong to something I don't
'Cause I could see why you'd think so
We moved on again, so
I packed my shit and left home
It's alright to think I still belong to something I don't
'Cause I could see why you'd think so

[Verse 4]
I stacked Lonelier than God
Next to You Get So Alone Sometimes

I know how this must look from the outside
It took almost thirteen months
For me to be where I feel fine
I'm not as sad as I let myself believe sometimes

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
