Description
Upbeat, catchy tune about missing the place you're from and the people you grew up with. Lyrics by Benjamin Rogers and music by Joseph Conard. Throughout the song, there are several references to living in the small area the musicians grew up in, as well as comments dealing with the adventures taken to pass time in a place with no mall, movie theater, or much of anything.
Lyrics
The times we would vandalize and scandalize the town Have filled my dreams; oh, I can't get to sleep And the days that our worst subjects would just drag on and on I guess I can gravely say those memories have laid rest And all at once, I start to see That all these things bring you back to me This small city I wanna be in this small town I wanna breathe the same thick air Watch the leaves, stop and stare If only for a little while I wanna be in this small town And as we fall through the night We'll race around the corners Hug the turns so tight, yeah, I think I'm alright Can you recall climbing high atop the building? Well, I can Yeah, I think I still got the bruise You rejoice in knowing that you took no part in our affairs It's just an abandoned house, now don't be scared And once again, I feel this calming still The urge to surround myself in names and places of This small town I wanna be in this small town I wanna breathe the same thick air Watch the leaves, stop and stare If only for a little while I wanna be in this small town And as we fall through the night We'll race around the corners Hug the turns so tight, yeah, I think I'm alright The words they say, the games they play It can be so overwhelming Just take the wheel so you can feel What it's like to live In this, in this, in this small town
