If I squint my eyes,
city looks just like the
place I'm from
From here I squash
the buildings
between my finger and my thumb
And every time we leave,
people ask to come along
Don't get me wrong
But leaving here won't change
a thing
The small town kids miss the city
The city kids miss the trees
And how do we get this backwards?
We're any more than
a change of scenery
I drift from town to town
I wonder if it's me
The same teething troubles
follow me
And people let you down
It's just a matter of time
But I know why
I think I might know why
We've been on this road for months
Like we're always on the run
It's hard to ignore this skyline
when it stands into the sun
And every town we visit,
all their faces look the same
From Portland to Pensacola,
the only difference is their
names
The small town kids
miss the city,
the city kids miss the trees
An d how do we get this backwards work
anymore than a change of scenery?
I trip from town to town,
I wonder if it's me
The same teething troubles
follow me
And people let you down,
it's just a matter of time
But I know why,
I think I might know why
A small town kiss missed the city
City kids missed the trees
And how we get this backwards
We're gonna need more than a change
This ain't real
I drift from town to town
I wonder if it's me
The same teething troubles
follow me
And people let you down
It's just a matter of time
But I know why
I think I might know why
