This Town
Revelations of a Weathered Town
Lyrics
This town is a lot like me
This town shares similarities with the speaker.
Sadder and wiser than it used to be
The town has become sadder and wiser over time.
A little sprawled out, a little rundown
It's a bit sprawled out and rundown.
I wonder what's gonna become of this town
The speaker wonders about the town's future.
This town has its highs and lows
The town experiences highs and lows.
And a hole in the middle where nobody goes
There's a neglected middle area where nobody goes.
People come through but they don't hang around
People pass through but don't stay.
Nobody wants to get to the heart of this town
Nobody wants to understand the town deeply.
This town has its own sweet charms
The town has its own positive qualities.
Open your heart and it'll open its arms
If you open your heart, the town will welcome you.
Take you by the hand and show you around
The town will guide you and share its beauty.
There's still a lot of life left in this town
There's still vitality in this town.
All that I can see is lovers kissing in the street
The speaker sees love in the town, manifested through kissing.
Swaying to the beat of a rusty radio
People dance to the music of a worn-out radio.
All that I can hear another late night symphony
Another night unfolds with its unique symphony of sounds.
The sound of traffic moving like an undertow
The sound of traffic is like an undertow, constant and rhythmic.
This town can't get no rest
The town is restless, always in a state of change.
Everybody thinks that they know best
Everyone has an opinion on how to improve the town.
They're either building it up or they're tearing it down
There's a constant struggle between building up and tearing down.
They can't seem to love it like it is, this town
The town is not fully appreciated for what it is.
All I wanna do tonight is kiss you in the street
The speaker desires to share intimate moments in the town.
Swaying to the beat of a rusty radio
They want to dance to the beat of a worn-out radio.
All I wanna do is feel your arms around me too
The speaker wants to feel embraced in the town.
Pullin' on my body like an undertow
The pull of the town is strong, like an undertow.
This town is a lot like me
The town, like the speaker, can be rejuvenated with care.
A little coat of paint and some TLC
A little effort can make the town vibrant again.
And she'll light right up if you come around
If you visit, the town will come alive.
You know that you never wanna leave this town
You won't want to leave this revitalized town.
