Lyrics

Townie

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.

There's a party and we're all going

And we're all growing up

Somebody's driving and he will be drinking

And no one's going back

'Cause we've tried hungry and we've tried full and

Nothing seems enough

So tonight, tonight

The boys are gonna go for

More more more

And I want a love that falls as fast

As a body from the balcony, and

I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground

I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat

Though I don't know what I'm waiting for

I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

Smell that, it's wet grass, and smoke in my hair

I think I've had enough

But he wants a finale and I came prepared

And we're not going back

And I've tried sharing and I've tried caring

And I've tried putting out

But the boys boys boys keep coming on for

More more more

And change change change is gonna come, but

When when when?

And I want a love that falls as fast

As a body from the balcony, and

I want a kiss like my heart is chasing it down

I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat

Though I don't know what I'm waiting for

I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

And I want a love that falls as fast

As a body from the balcony, and

I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground

I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat

Though I don't know what I'm waiting for

I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

I wanna be what my body wants me to be
