Midwestern Paradise (It's Quiet)

Did you ever find a peaceful place
Out in the woods down by the lake?
Midwestern paradise is a cold escape
And we all fall in love with the isolation

Mm
Did you grow your hair like you said you would?
Cause you said you would
Mm
Did you find a reason to keep from leaving
Or are you still searching for it?

I close my eyes
And I'm where you are
With your crooked smile and your stubborn heart
But in this light
You look so vibrant and we speak all night
But for once it's quiet

Ooh
Ooh

Well I met someone
And I brought her home
And Christmas is better now
That I'm less alone
And I won't be the trouble child
Like my siblings say
And I'll iron my trauma out til I'm vindicated

Mm
Did you fill that roll of kodak gold
With memories underexposed but full of heart
Mm
Did you see the silver in the lining
Were you ever really trying anyway?
I close my eyes and I'm where you are
With your crooked smile and your stubborn heart
But in this light you look so vibrant
And we speak all night but for once it's quiet

Ooh
Ooh
