State Lines Lyrics by Patrick O’Neill

2024

[Chorus]
You take another piece of my heart
Every time I cross the state lines
Got your outfit for the weekend
You're doin' all you can to make time
I fit so perfectly in your arms
Squeeze so hard you almost break mine
When there's very little left to be eaten
Give me one of yours and take mine

[Verse 1]
I stopped writin' songs about real life
'Cause I can't put it into words
It's way too hard to describe
It used to be so much worsе
Now I can look into your eyes
Know my joints don't hurt
And wherе my throat stayed tight
It opens up and eats the world
And yeah, the drive's real far
But I don't really mind that much
You're worried I'll get bored
You're worried you don't do enough
But I'm so proud that I can't shut up
What could you be not doin' enough of?

[Chorus]
Just, just let me take another piece of your heart
Every time we cross the state lines
I'll be fine
And I'll be fine
You take another piece of my heart
Every time you cross the state lines
And you'll be fine
And you'll be fine
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Post-Chorus]
(Take another piece of your heart) Uh-uh, uh-uh
Oh, just let me take another piece of your heart (Take another piece of your heart)
Come on, baby, let me take another piece of your heart (Take another piece of your heart)
But you're not in the fire (Take another piece of your heart)
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Oh, she didn't have to pack
Oh, but the city had my soul if it gave me that
I watched the city eat you whole and it takes you back
Until I can't find you
And the crowds, and the doors close
Then you fly down the tracks
Will you still hold me like this in the heat of the summer?
You're the only one who's ever made me wish
For traffic on the Grand Central Parkway
Construction on the Van Wyck
We used to murder every weekend
And kill Sunday while it's sleepin'
And drag it out into the evenin' and
Take a piece of my heart when you pull me into the dark
Oh when the bright morning light comes punchin' through my window
And the voice of reason sayin' baby please you gotta come home
Just sit with me a little longer
Cause I think we're both on fire
And the whole world sees it, oh
And the whole world knows

[Chorus]
They watched me take another piece of your heart
Every time we cross the state lines
Oh, you take another piece of my heart
I'll be fine
Oh, let me take another piece of your heart
Let me take another piece of your heart
Come on baby, let me take another piece of your heart
Let me take another piece of your
Let me take another piece of your heart

[Outro]
(Take another piece of your heart) Uh-uh, uh-uh
Just let me take
Oh, let me take another piece of your heart
Let me take another piece of your heart
Just let me take another piece of your
