Lyrics

Oh, oh, here
Everybody tryna leave
Everybody got a suitcase packed
Even when they ain't got somewhere to be
Around here
Everybody (leaves)
Tattoos somewhere on their body
Hidden underneath their sleeves
(Around here)
They say the city gon' to save 'em
But I seen the city break 'em too
(Around here)
Nobody knows what they're doin'
They just do what they're supposed to do
Ashley works the counter at the share room
Bleaches her hair every two weeks
Says she's movin' out to California
Soon as she gets enough sleep
Got a boyfriend fixin' motorcycles
Says he used to play guitar
Keeps a map inside his glovebox
With circles around stars
The preacher's son got caught in Houston
Tryna sell somebody pills
Now his mama says he's findin' Jesus
Everybody knows he will
And the water tower's still leanin' west
Like it's tryna get away too
Around here
Everybody tryna leave
Everybody got a suitcase packed
Even when they ain't got somewhere to be
(Around here)
Everybody got a dream
Tattooed somewhere on their body
Hidden underneath their sleeves
(Around here)
They say the city gon' to save 'em
But I seen the city break 'em too
(Around here)
Nobody knows what they're doin'
They just do what they're supposed to do
Yeah, yeah
Jenny had a scholarship to Nashville
Never made it past July
Got pregnant by a bartender
Now she post about a different life
Marcus drives his daddy's pickup
Blasting records after dark
Swears he's gonna buy a ticket
Before this town steals his heart
Everybody got a version
Of themselves they wanna be
Sometimes I think they're all just lookin'
For the same thing as me
A little more sky, a little less gravity
For me, I've been driving circles past the football field at night
Thinking maybe growing up is just a slower way to leave
Thinking maybe everybody's lonely
Maybe everybody's scared
Maybe all the things we're chasing ain't waiting anywhere
(Around here)
Everybody tryna leave
Everybody got a reason why they can't seem to leave
(Around here)
Everybody got a dream floating over the railroad tracks
Like smoke you almost see
(Around here)
They say the city gonna save 'em
Maybe that's what they tell themselves
Around here, we're all somebody's children
Tryna become somebody else
Around here, the train's still coming through
Nobody gets on
