This Town
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I found my fear in the ashes of this town as it burned
When the smoke entered my lungs, I suffocated on lessons I learned
Made it out of the fire, ran away just in time
(My home, this place will never change. I know what’s best. I just can’t stay)
Tried to kill my desire, tried to hold me here all of my life
(All these memories won’t be erased, but it’s time to make my own way)
Suddenly I saw everything that I never could have done with you here
Don’t turn around now there’s no road back home
(No fear to hold you back. Just say you want it, say you want it more)
The bridges all burned down, everything you know is lost
Nobody ever leaves
But this town won’t take the best of me
You dream about (every hope) hidden away (but just below)
The surface of your skin, so coarse but oh so thin
You’re terrified (of letting go)
Nothing is reaped until it’s sown
No time to give in. Just one life we live
Moving forward is not failing
Don’t turn around now there’s no road back home
(No fear to hold you back, just say you want it, say you want it more)
The bridges all burned down, everything you know is lost
Nobody ever leaves
But this town won’t take the best of me
When you feel your heart pumping in your chest
And ignites the spark that you’ve always felt
Do you trust yourself? Don’t push those thoughts away
Can you feel the life flowing through your veins?
It never mattered what the voices said
Life’s not about how you fall
(It’s about how many times you can get up)
You made it this far with the courage you had
You carried the weight of it all
Every dead end just begins a new path
Oh, the places we’ll go
