Christmas lights and it's after midnight
Hoodie weather at the coldest time of the year
Lately nothing's like it used to be
And I'm realizing there's nothing left for me here
Walking in the dark, I can see my breath
Warm month, fifteen above freezing
It's a ghost town here, everybody left
To search the world and find their meaning
Now it's almost time to say goodbye to this part of life
There's a million other places just like this
A G-rated suburbia
But when we were all younger, this town was way better
And it really felt like a home to love
(Really felt like a home to love)
Facing change doesn't seem so scary
When you feel like it's been a wasted year
When we were all younger, this town was way better
Now there's really nothing left for me here
Now in the blink of an eye it's summer time
Green grass, sunsets in an orange sky
A good view, a reminder of home
But it wouldn't be enough for me, even if it could try
If I told myself I hate it here
Then that would be a lie
But it's almost time to say goodbye
To this part of life
There's a million other places just like this
A G-rated suburbia
But when we were all younger, this town was way better
And it really felt like a home to love
(Really felt like a home to love)
Facing change doesn't seem so scary
When you feel like it's been a wasted year
When we were all younger, this town was way better
Now there's really nothing left for me here
There's been talks of our ten-year reunion
Celebrating everyone's success
But hardly anyone's talking about it
Maybe I'm not the only one who feels like a mess
Honor roll didn't get me to leave yet
(There's a million other places just like this)
Though it would've made perfect sense
Maybe I'm just scared of the real world
(There's a million other places just like this)
And learning at my own expense
