couch surfing Lyrics by Ashley Anne
A different night different front porch view
A futon in the corner of a neighbors’ living room
Spare key underneath the doormat
Week’s worth of clothes in a backpack
Toothbrush a charger and worn out pair of shoes
Was all she had to lose
Tryna keep her head above the water
She’s everybody’s daughter
It’s hard to make a strangers house a home
Drowning nowhere to anchor down
Temporary solid ground
Just tryna stay afloat
Hiding all the hurting
Behind some linen curtains
Feeling like a burden
Couch surfing
She took whatever place she had to crash
A mansion, an apartment or a four bedroom two bath
Had a coffee table for a nightstand, falling asleep to the box fan
Tip toeing by the photos on the fridge
That she ain’t even in
Tryna keep her head above the water
She’s everybody’s daughter
It’s hard to make a strangers house a home
Drowning nowhere to anchor down
Temporary solid ground
Just tryna stay afloat
And Hiding all the hurting
Behind some linen curtains
Feeling like a burden
Couch surfing
Crashing with the waves
Going with the flow
Don’t take up too much space
Try not to rock the boat
Keep your head above the water
You’re this whole damn towns daughter
You have to make a strangers house a home
Drowning nowhere to anchor down
Temporary solid ground
Just tryna stay afloat
Hiding all the hurting
Behind some linen curtains
Feeling like a burden
Couch surfing
