Lyrics
I saw your name written out in the city
I noticed your name written in the city.
I couldn't believe it at first
Initially, I found it hard to believe.
And I used to think that Atlanta was pretty
I used to think Atlanta was attractive.
But 3,000 feet made it feel much worse
Being 3,000 feet away made it feel more challenging.
So now, every time I'm in Georgia
Every time I'm in Georgia now,
I'll probably cry,
I'll likely cry.
And I think that that's funny of me
Finding it amusing that I react this way.
Sob every time that I take off
Crying every time I take off.
And complexify every letter that's too far to see
Overthinking every distant letter.
If nowhere else, I'll make sense of the hell
If nowhere else, I'll find meaning in the chaos here in Georgia.
Here, in Georgia
Georgia is symbolic of a place of emotional turmoil.
Think I was looking for you at the airport
I thought I might find you at the airport.
But I know that you're not in town
But I know you're not in the city.
I guess with you I just can't be too careful
I must be cautious with you.
You found a way still, just to be around
You manage to be present in some way.
So now every time I'm in Georgia
Again, every time I'm in Georgia,
I'll probably cry,
Tears are likely.
And I think that that's funny of me
Finding it oddly amusing.
Sob every time that I land in Atlanta
Crying every time I land in Atlanta.
It's too much to handle I think
Overwhelmed by emotions.
Oh you can't be serious, can you?
Expressing disbelief or sarcasm.
Showing up when I need you the least
Your unexpected presence when I least expect it.
You've ruined enough for me, can you
You've caused enough trouble; can you leave me in peace?
Leave me this city in peace?
Asking for solitude in the city.
I think
A pause, contemplating the situation.
It's better
Reflecting on a time when things were better.
Before you leave me in pieces
Before you break me into pieces.
I wanna be in Georgia
Expressing a desire to be in Georgia.
Without breaking apart
Wanting to be in Georgia without falling apart.
I wanna see Atlanta
Expressing a desire to see Atlanta without being reminded of you.
Without seeing your heart
Yearning to see Atlanta without the emotional burden.
