this town

This town is small now

It didn't feel this way when I first came back from college

This town

This town's unchanging

Except for the mom and pop that closed down

They couldn't make it

This town

I saw your mom and dad just two days apart

They weren't together

I'm not in the loop

But I caught a clue

Didn't reach out, reach out to you

No, I didn't have to

'Cause word gets around in this little town

I'm gonna catch it if I stick around

If I stick around

October it comes and it stays

In the back of my brain like a phrase

That repeats 'till it's all I remember

Can't escape

It's burning my town with its blaze

Reignites old autumn flames

'Till we have no choice but to surrender

And it lights a fire within me

The choir that sings 'till the smoke fills our lungs with the air

And the man

Doesn't care

Only ever sits there

This town is small now

It didn't feel that way when I first came back from college

This town

This town is small now

It didn't feel that way when I first came back from college

This town
