about

Painting The Town by Paper Plains from debut album Anaestalgia

lyrics

I’ll paint you the setting but it’s not here in the West – rather, in the East Coast back in 2010. You and I had only just met but we were doomed to become the best of friends. Will Wagner had a broken collarbone and the SSB stole our hearts so far from home. It took two tries and a small white lie to get out of a public urination fine. I can't remember a single point over the five days when I wasn’t a complete and utter drunken disgrace and regress to classic Patty: getting drunk, trying to touch everyone within reach’s face.

The art in the streets, this thriving music scene, so, with envy, paint me green. Just how I wished that these nights were never-ending. In the city in which I met my first real sweetheart, I found myself making decisions that nearly tore me apart. We snuck glass bottles past security guards ‘cause we couldn’t fathom the idea of drinking out of plastic cups. I stand strongly behind every single breath, every decision I've made, every single fucking step that I took to end up right here ‘cause there’s still nowhere else that I’d rather be.

There’s nowhere else that I’d rather be.

So on the flight back to my home by heart sunk and I became undone, but I took solace in the fact that this time next year I’d be right back to eating Big Macs without meat, and, if you please, hold the cheese 'cause I’m drunk and stranded in a foreign city, but it still feels like home to me. I'm drunk and stranded in this foreign city and there's still nowhere else that I'd rather be.
