Paroles de Hometown
She was the safe choice, sweet and classicWanted two boys, better taxes
If I'd have stayed there we would've had it all by now
But I was stuck on something missing
Feeling too small in her vision
I tried to hold on to all the things we said out loud
But eventually the nightmares all catch up to you
You can't outrun those parts of you
So I did what I had to do
I broke up with my hometown
It's a cliche, it's a cop out
Trying to make it in new ground
Wish I could say that I'm better off now
But I'm a mess, it's what I get
I don't think that she'd take me back
Cause we've grown too far apart now
Yea I broke up with my hometown
She was always stubborn in her own way
Good with business, didn't like change
And I got defensive sharing my dreams, she had her doubts
Though I still didn't agree with the message You can't outrun your future too
So I did what I had to do
I broke up with my hometown
It's a cliche, it's a cop out
Trying to make it in new ground
Wish I could say that I'm better off now
But I'm a mess, it's what I get
I don't think that she'd take me back
Cause we've grown too far apart now
Yea we've grown too far apart
From the lightning bugs that we caught in a jar
Blasting 93.7 out my first car
We were young, dumb flying to south Pennsylvania
I swore that nothing would ever change
But you wake up one day resenting the seasons
You hate all the things that you know for no reason
A problem that's that's buried deep under your skin
You cant help but go with the easiest fix
I broke up with my hometown
Yea I broke up with my hometown
But eventually the nightmares all catch up to you
You can't outrun those parts of you
So I did what I had to do
I broke up with my hometown
It's a cliche, it's a cop out
Trying to make it in new ground
Wish I could say that I'm better off now
But I'm a mess, it's what I get
I don't think that she'd take me back
Cause we've grown too far apart now
Yea I broke up with my hometown
She was always stubborn in her own way
Good with business, didn't like change
And I got defensive sharing my dreams, she had her doubts
Though I still didn't agree with the message You can't outrun your future too
So I did what I had to do
I broke up with my hometown
It's a cliche, it's a cop out
Trying to make it in new ground
Wish I could say that I'm better off now
But I'm a mess, it's what I get
I don't think that she'd take me back
Cause we've grown too far apart now
Yea we've grown too far apart
From the lightning bugs that we caught in a jar

You hate all the things that you know for no reason
A problem that's that's buried deep under your skin

Yea I broke up with my hometown
