Lyrics

Since I was 13 I knew I had to get out

But when I packed my bags I cried the whole way down

Left my friends back in our small town

Along with all my dreams of being loved how

But there were bigger things in the stones for me

I had to give up a love to go find me

And yeah it cut ‘cause I did get out

But my heart still wandered to my hometown

I broke down on the phone saying

“I wanna come home dad

I wanna come home get me out”

He said “no I promise you don’t

Just give it a go

You’re gonna be gold out there”

And so I started to like it

Cut my hair and then dyed it

Kissed a couple of strangers didn’t mind it

Left my love back in that ghost town

And broke a couple of hearts I came to find out

And my mother called

Said “what the fuck are you doing?!

You’ve gotta be better than better than this

So yeah it stings

‘Cause I did get out

But my soul still roams around my hometown

I broke down on the phone saying

“I wanna come home mum

I wanna come home get me out”

She said “no you’ve gotta be bold

If you want it you go

But don’t get too cold out there”

I broke down on the phone saying

“I wanna come home dad

I wanna come home get me out”

He said “no I promise you don’t

Just give it a go

You’re gonna be gold out there”

I promise you don’t

Just give it a go

You’re gonna be gold out there I swear

You’ve gotta be bold

If you want it you go

You’re gonna be gold out there

So I hung up the phone with a lump in my throat

Knowing now what I know I had to bury

And I etched it in stone

Carved into my bones

It isn’t my home just a memory

I hung up the phone with a lump in my throat

Knowing now what I know I was empty

And I etched it in stone carved into my bones

It can still be my home in my memory
