Back In Town Lyrics

So we're doing this

I return right to the place I left

To the foreign faces, they know me best

Littlefield, she calls right back to me

It's over there where she first called

Drive past the diamond, horsefly balls

My mom and dad, they say, hey, hey we'll see

A waste of time, my time away

Went to study space and thought I'd stay

I thought I'd hit the sky, but I hit the ground

And fearful if I saw my friends of old but not conclusive ends

I failed to find whatever they have found

Tell everyone, don't tell anyone

I'm back in town

I won't see you around

Tell everyone, don't tell anyone

I'm back in town

I won't see you around

Familiar roads, but brand-new streets

I'll retrace our paths in fallen leaves

Pull over, drown to that one Pavement song

Now Sarah works behind the bar

Honor student sticker still on her car

I guess she knew what's right and who is wrong

A look of knowing on her face

I say my thanks and she says grace

Head out and hit the asphalt until dawn

My doctor says it's for the best

Each morning snow weighs on my chest

I'm powerless to charge until I'm gone

Tell everyone, don't tell anyone

I'm back in town

I won't see you around

Tell everyone, tell everyone

Don't tell anyone, don't tell anyone

I'm back in town

I won't see you around

It was what it was, I was wrong

It is what it is, I see that now

It was what it was, I was wrong

It is what it is, but so were you

It was what it was, I was wrong

It is what it is, I see that now

It was what it was, I was wrong

It is what it is, but so were you

So tell everyone, don't tell anyone

I'm back in town

I won't see you around

Tell everyone, don't tell anyone

I'm back in town

I won't see you around
