Lyrics
And, this town's grown strange
This town has become unfamiliar and peculiar.
It don't ever do nothin' but get in the way
It consistently obstructs any attempt to move on from the emotions tied to you.
Of gettin' over you
It hinders the process of getting over the person addressed in the song.
And this was a different place
Previously, this place held a different vibe.
Just like us this town used to be great
Similar to the relationship, this town used to be wonderful, but things have changed.
But now I can't stay
Now, it's impossible for the singer to remain here.
And I been tryin' to make a change
The attempt to make a change has been ongoing.
Oh but I just can't escape down in this town
Despite efforts, escaping the emotional hold of this town has proven difficult.
And this house ain't a home
The house doesn’t feel like a home anymore.
These old boards just creak and moan
The place is characterized by old, creaky boards, a manifestation of sadness since the departure of the person.
Since you been gone
The house echoes the absence of the person and the loneliness that follows.
And this street's full of holes
The street has changed; people no longer greet each other as they used to.
Folks used to stop and say hello
The community's warmth and familiarity have dissipated.
But they don't anymore
There's a lack of social interaction compared to the past.
And I been tryin' to find my way
Struggling to navigate through the changes in this town.
But I don't recognize the face
The singer feels disconnected and unable to relate to the town's current state.
Oh of this town
The town appears unrecognizable to the singer.
And ever since you left I find
Since the departure of the addressed person, believing in their absence has been challenging.
It hard to believe you're gonе
The disbelief in the person's absence persists.
And I'm always lookin' for something
The singer is in constant search of something meaningful.
Every placе I go a stranger in my own home
Feeling like a stranger in familiar places.
Here in this town
The discomfort of feeling out of place persists in this town.
And this town is grey
The town feels dull and lifeless.
I can only see the cracks in the paint
The singer can only notice the flaws and imperfections.
Where all the colors fade
The vibrancy and liveliness of the town have faded away.
There ain't nothin' in this place
The town seems devoid of anything worthwhile.
Worth pullin' off the highway to see
There's nothing of significance here that warrants a stop.
I best be on my way
Deciding to move on and leave this town behind.
There's just memories of you and me
Only memories of the relationship remain.
I guess darlin' it's time I should be
Realizing it's time to depart from the town.
Leavin' this town
It's time to leave this place behind.
And ever since you left I find
Continued difficulty in accepting the absence of the addressed person.
It hard to believe you're gone
The disbelief in the person's departure persists.
And I'm always lookin' for something
Constantly searching for something meaningful, feeling out of place everywhere.
Every place I go a stranger in my own home
The feeling of being a stranger even in familiar surroundings prevails.
Here in this town
Experiencing the discomfort of feeling disconnected in this town.
