Whitesides, Jacob - Ohio Lyrics






At 14 I used to talk to myself
Paint my bedroom with stars
One for each time my dad flaked out
Got a galaxy of scars
You know that feeling that you get when ya start to run out of breath
And ya pass out, wake up, wig out not knowing where you are

I'm safer here inside my submarine
'Cause when I'm under water you can't say anything
I can't hear anything

O-o-o-ohio
I don't need Hollywood
I don't need New York heights or Las Vegas lights
I need O-o-o-ohio
I've never even been there
But I'd rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio

Last time I saw your face
You were screaming that I don't have a clue
I'm not a deadbeat piece of shit
Dad, I'll never learn that from you
You know that feeling when you're weak
And ya, wish your brain could delete for ya
All the types of twisted contradictions that I worked so hard to lose

I'm safer here inside my submarine
'Cause when I'm under water you can't throw words at me
I'm just learning how to leave

O-o-o-ohio
I don't need Hollywood
I don't need New York heights or Las Vegas lights
I need O-o-o-ohio
I've never even been there
But I'd rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio

We're all growing up, and we're all dying
We're all growing up, and we're all trying
We're all growing up, and we're all dying
We're all growing up, and we're all trying
We're all growing up, and we're all dying
We're all growing up, and we're all trying

O-o-o-ohio
I don't need Hollywood
I don't need New York heights or Las Vegas lights
I need O-o-o-ohio
I've never even been there
But I'd rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio

    I live in ohio but Don't judge its the first time actually listening to this song my friend actually turned me on to him he is amazing and this song is beautiful!

  27. M.... L....

    For people who don't understand the meaning it is about his dad. He said in a interview that his dad was and is jealous of his fame and said pretty mean things to him. In the song there are a lot of verses that have things that literally say it. Read the lyrics carefully.

    M.... L....

    that’s messed up to be jealous of your son lmao

  28. C.... B....

    I'm just glad there's finally a song about the state I live in lol

    C.... B....

    Lol there are wome like ohio fried chicken jake paul but that song is crap so yeah this one is good

    C.... B....

    Ohio is for lovers jawthorne heights is much older.

    C.... B....

    Same tho. Ohio isn't very popular

    C.... B....

    It's better than the one about the National Guard shooting people.

  29. C.... F....

    A.... R....

    Abby Renee Tener same

  32. B.... W....

    I figured this song was just about wanting to be in Ohio bc he'd never been there but now that i've seen this video, I get it.

    B.... W....

    im sorry i sound slow... what is he talking about?

    B.... W....

    Listen to the beginning. "One for each time my dad flaked out. Got a galaxy of scars"???

    B.... W....
