You say maybe just for now, we can settle down

Even just for a while

But to stay goes against everything that I am

Do you not understand

That I am working for something greater than this town

I don't want to keep looking down over these houses

I am looking for a way out of this life

I don't want to settle down just yet

Now once a month I like to go down

To that playground in the park where we used to live

Back then everything was so simple

You and me and all of our friends biking through our little town

But I am working for something greater than our little town

I don't want to keep looking down over these houses

I am looking for a way out of this life

I don't want to settle down just yet

Now I'm back but not back on track

And I tried to call, I wondered how you'd react

Are you the same as you were at seventeen

Some people get older but stay just as mean

And I mean it when I tell you I had to leave

I'm still working for something greater than this town

I don't want to keep looking down over these houses

I am looking for a way out of this life

I don't want to settle down just yet

Just yet

Just yet
