Springfield, Illinois
I left you standing by the state house stairs
A little bit annoyed, but completely unaware
Of anything you said
To give me pause as to what goes on inside your head
Was there something I should have seen?
What exactly did you mean?

And you would never be the one to say
"Nothing's worth the work it takes to stay
And it's all a mess
It's stupidness."

We left you standing by the state house stairs
A little bit annoyed, but completely unaware

And we had never been the ones to say
"Nothing's worth the work it takes to stay
And it's all a mess
Yeah, it's stupidness."
And we had never been the ones to say
"Nothing's worth not imply walking away from this uselessness
Yeah, don't kid yourself."

'Cause I had always been the one to say
"Nothing's worth the work it takes to stay
And it's all a mess
Yeah, it's stupidness."
And I had always been the one to say
"Nothing's worth not simply walking away from this uselessness
"Yeah, don't fool yourself."

You left me standing by the state house stairs
A little still annoyed, but completely unaware
