Jessie says she's been here for a thousand days
A thousand days to her
That just don't mean a thing
'Cause the city makes a perfect place to sleep
And daddy's coming home
He said he brought her things
Like jewels from every coast
And songs for them to sing
But singing never got her very far
And this old coast is full
Of pin-up paper rockstars
She said she'll run
Until her feet don't touch the ground
And as the waves carry me out
Well, keep listening
She'll never make a sound
So keep it coming and the details quiet
She's like a ghost that keeps you up all night
And she'll be a secret you can keep
Keep me
Cuts on paper hearts
They can be awful deep
Rips from wear and tear
On different city streets
They don't all need a home
But just a place to sleep
So I will run
Until my feet don't touch the ground
And as the waves carry me out
Well, keep listening
She'll never make a sound
So keep it coming and the details quiet
She's like a ghost that keeps you up all night
And she'll be a secret you can keep
Keep me
Keep me
And still she finds
That every time she runs
She leaves behind
Another piece of her
On every city street
So I will run
Until my feet don't touch the ground
As the waves carry me out
Keep listening
So I will run
Until my feet don't touch the ground
And as the waves carry me out
Well, keep listening
She'll never make a sound
So keep it coming and the details quiet
She's like a ghost that keeps you up all night
And she'll be a secret you can keep
Keep me
Keep me
So keep it coming and the details quiet
She's like a ghost that keeps you up all night
And she'll be a secret you can keep
Keep me
Keep me
A thousand days to her
That just don't mean a thing
'Cause the city makes a perfect place to sleep
And daddy's coming home
He said he brought her things
Like jewels from every coast
And songs for them to sing
But singing never got her very far
And this old coast is full
Of pin-up paper rockstars
She said she'll run
Until her feet don't touch the ground
And as the waves carry me out
Well, keep listening
She'll never make a sound
So keep it coming and the details quiet
She's like a ghost that keeps you up all night
And she'll be a secret you can keep
Keep me
Cuts on paper hearts
They can be awful deep
Rips from wear and tear
On different city streets
They don't all need a home
But just a place to sleep
So I will run
Until my feet don't touch the ground
And as the waves carry me out
Well, keep listening
She'll never make a sound
So keep it coming and the details quiet
She's like a ghost that keeps you up all night
And she'll be a secret you can keep
Keep me
Keep me
And still she finds
That every time she runs
She leaves behind
Another piece of her
On every city street
So I will run
Until my feet don't touch the ground
As the waves carry me out
Keep listening
So I will run
Until my feet don't touch the ground
And as the waves carry me out
Well, keep listening
She'll never make a sound
So keep it coming and the details quiet
She's like a ghost that keeps you up all night
And she'll be a secret you can keep
Keep me
Keep me
So keep it coming and the details quiet
She's like a ghost that keeps you up all night
And she'll be a secret you can keep
Keep me
Keep me

"She said she'll run
Until her feet don't touch the ground
And as the waves carry me out
Well, keep listening
She'll never make a sound"
I think this lyric is about her just trying her hardest to get away until she dies and if someone tries to stop her she'll just ignore it and go on. She wants everything to just go away and be able to restart. Basically just her wanting to get away from everything and everybody. She just wants everything to go away. Originally when I heard this song it reminded me of someone taking their life.
This is probably not what it was meant to be lol, but to me it personally makes a ton of sense because I've been in that situation and that's how I felt. So I ran.
I think it's a girl who wants to just escape. Escape from everything. She wants to run away from everything she knows because she's sick of it. She's spolied and she gets everything.
I think when it says
"And as the waves carry me out
Keep listening
She'll never make a sound"
It's like, she'll get so far away and never have any regrets.
I really love this song.
they do sing a song called jersey,
cause jersey just got colder and,
ill have you know im scared to death
that everything you said to me was just,
a lie untill you left,

hold me up just a little bit longer,
ill be fine i swear,
im just gone beyond repair
