Hometown

She was the safe choice, sweet and classic Wanted 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 cliché, 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 Yeah I broke up with my hometown Shе was always stubborn in her own way Good with business, didn't like changе And I got defensive sharing my dreams, she had her doubts Though I still didn't agree with the message She was worried, being protective Sometimes the way we learn to love just lets you down And eventually the nightmares all catch up to you You can't outrun your future too So I did what I had to do I broke up with my hometown It's a cliché, 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 Yeah we've grown too far apart From the lightning bugs that we caught in a jar Blasting ninety-three seven 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 buried deep under your skin You can't help but go with the easiest fix I broke up with my hometown Yeah I broke up with my hometown
