I’m back in my hometown hometown
coming back to see my old grounds old grounds
I really need to find a new sound new sound
before I’m stuck here for a while
no escape and in denial
just existing in my hometown hometown
coming back to see my old grounds old grounds
I really need to find a new sound new sound
before I’m stuck here for a while
no escape and in denial
just existing in my hometown hometown (hometown hometown)
hometown hometown (hometown hometown)
living out my days alone now lone now (hometown hometown)
it starts and ends inside my hometown hometown

just when I thought I got away for good
I find it’s coming back for me
I feel it in the back of my mind
all my successes keep me just above the line
it’s just a matter of time
it’s just a matter of time

feeling out of step with everyone who lives here
in a place where nothing happens
in the middle of this nowhere
living lives that i could never feel content or satisfied with
all these thoughts run through my head
as i look out the window at my dear old
hometown hometown
feeling melancholy wracked with self-doubt
is it still possible to find a way out
before I’m stuck here for a while
no escape and in denial
forever waiting in my hometown hometown (hometown hometown)
hometown hometown (hometown hometown)
living out my days alone by myself (lone by myself)
it starts and ends inside my hometown hometown

i tried my best but did it work out in the end
back here again with all the memories
now it fills me with dread
i bet my whole life on a path that stops ahead
it’s just a matter of time
it’s just a matter of time

could i be wrong
maybe it’s not so bad to live a slower life
free from distractions
with a chance to think things over
but i don’t have the connections
or the bonds to feel at home
i never had them in the first place
in the only life i’d known

in every memory of mine
i feel alone and out of place
with everyone so isolated
everything so far away
there’s really nothing here for me
and i don’t think there ever will be now
i wasn’t sure about it but it’s clear that i can't stay here in my
hometown hometown
coming back to see my old grounds old grounds
I really need to find a new sound new sound
before I’m stuck here for a while
no escape and in denial
just existing in my hometown hometown
feeling melancholy wracked with self-doubt
is it still possible to find a way out
before I’m stuck here for a while
no escape and in denial
forever waiting in my hometown hometown (hometown hometown)
hometown hometown (hometown hometown)
living out my days alone by myself (lone by myself)
it starts and ends inside my hometown hometown (hometown hometown)

(hometown hometown)
