Lost In The Inbetween
Navigating the In-Between: Christy Bellis' Journey of Finding Home
Lyrics
This town's not my town, it's your town
This town belongs to someone else, not the speaker.
But my town's not my town anymore
The speaker's hometown has changed or feels unfamiliar.
Sunday I lay here, dread the morning to come
Feeling anxious on Sunday anticipating the upcoming morning.
'Cause in this town there is no place for me
In this town, the speaker feels out of place or unwelcome.
Trying to find my own town
The speaker is attempting to discover a place that feels like their own.
Trying to find my home town
Continuing the quest to find a hometown.
Lost in the In-between
Feeling lost and caught between two places.
Trying to find a place to settle
Seeking a suitable place to settle down.
Maybe home's too far for me
Expressing uncertainty about whether the concept of home is too distant.
Gotta make my own home
Deciding to create a home on one's own on Earth.
Here on this earth
Feeling that settling down is premature due to youth.
Too young to settle
Affirming youth and a reluctance to settle down.
Keep flying the nest baby bird
Encouraging someone, perhaps metaphorically called "baby bird," to leave the nest.
Keep flying the nest baby bird
Reiterating the encouragement to leave and explore.
Your town is crowded but lonely
Describing the loneliness in a crowded town.
And my town is full of regret
The speaker's hometown is filled with remorse.
Every face here looks the same
Everyone in the town appears identical.
Hop on that bandwagon ride it away
Suggesting conformity and the urge to escape it.
But in your town you never see the same face again
Contrasting with the speaker's town, faces in the other town constantly change.
Trying to find my own town
Continuing the search for a personal hometown.
Trying to find my home town
Persisting in the quest for a true home.
Lost in the In-between
Reiterating the feeling of being lost between two places.
Trying to find a place to settle
Continuing the search for a settling place.
Maybe home's too far for me
Repeating the uncertainty about the distance of home.
Gotta make my own home
Emphasizing the need to create a personal home on Earth.
Here on this earth
Highlighting the speaker's youth as a barrier to settling down.
Too young to settle
Reiterating the theme of being too young to settle.
Keep flying the nest baby bird
Encouraging the metaphorical baby bird to keep exploring.
Keep flying the nest baby bird
Reiterating the encouragement to continue exploring.
This town's not your town it's my town
Asserting that the current town belongs to the speaker.
And my town was home made for me
Affirming that the speaker's original town was tailor-made for them.
Lost in the In-between
Expressing the continued feeling of being lost between places.
Trying to find a place to settle
Continuing the search for a suitable settling place.
Maybe home's too far for me
Repeating the uncertainty about the distance of home.
Gotta make my own home
Reiterating the need to create a personal home on Earth.
Here on this earth
Emphasizing the speaker's youth as a barrier to settling down.
Too young to settle
Reiterating the theme of being too young to settle.
Keep flying the nest baby bird
Encouraging the metaphorical baby bird to keep exploring.
Keep flying the nest baby bird
Reiterating the encouragement to continue exploring.
