sun is hot the air is thick
i'm waiting at the corner of clark and saint-zotique
for someone that’ll help me get out of here
like that’s where i'd rather be than just standing here
you’d be hard pressed to leave this place behind
now that things ain’t so bad here anymore
you’d be hard pressed to leave this place behind
walk around, in my evening dress
street lamps glimmering very suspiciously—
and someone is calling my name
from the backseat of a cab
and all fares well, in my hometown
where everything is different but nothing has changed
you see us go by like you’re riding a train
and the feeling is gone but you stay, just the same
pack up move out
come back without
saying “I can no longer stick around
in my hometown”
pack up move out
come back saying
“there was always something
bringing me down
in my hometown”
you’d be hard pressed to leave this place behind
now that things ain’t so bad here anymore
you’d be hard pressed to leave this place behind
now that things ain’t so bad here anymore
tough love, kid
that’s what I say to me

heard you're moving back home
i should be relieved
pressed flowers between old pages of books we’ve never seen
heard you're moving back home
what does that mean?
has work all dried up and you’re living off your last pennies?
one day you're living with elise
the next you're not
funny how easy it was to leave
one day you're living with elise
the next you're not
funny how easy it was to leave
heard you're moving back home
i should be relieved
pressed flowers between old pages of books we’ve never seen
heard you're leaving town for good
i should feel free
or closer to what that means
