📜 Lyrics
She was the safe choice, sweet and classic
Wanted two boys, better taxes
If I'd have stayed there we would've had it all by now
But I was stuck on something missing
Feeling too small in her vision
I tried to hold on to all the things we said out loud
But eventually the nightmares all catch up to you
You can't outrun those parts of you
So I did what I had to do
I broke up with my hometown
It's a cliché, it's a cop out
Trying to make it in new ground
Wish I could say that I'm better off now
But I'm a mess, it's what I get
I don't think that she'd take me back
Cause we've grown too far apart now
Yeah I broke up with my hometown
Shе was always stubborn in her own way
Good with business, didn't like changе
And I got defensive sharing my dreams, she had her doubts
Though I still didn't agree with the message
She was worried, being protective
Sometimes the way we learn to love just lets you down
And eventually the nightmares all catch up to you
You can't outrun your future too
So I did what I had to do
I broke up with my hometown
It's a cliché, it's a cop out
Trying to make it in new ground
Wish I could say that I'm better off now
But I'm a mess, it's what I get
I don't think that she'd take me back
Cause we've grown too far apart now
Yeah we've grown too far apart
From the lightning bugs that we caught in a jar
Blasting ninety-three seven out my first car
We were young, dumb flying to south Pennsylvania
I swore that nothing would ever change
But you wake up one day resenting the seasons
You hate all the things that you know for no reason
A problem that's buried deep under your skin
You can't help but go with the easiest fix
I broke up with my hometown
Yeah I broke up with my hometown
Wanted two boys, better taxes
If I'd have stayed there we would've had it all by now
But I was stuck on something missing
Feeling too small in her vision
I tried to hold on to all the things we said out loud
But eventually the nightmares all catch up to you
You can't outrun those parts of you
So I did what I had to do
I broke up with my hometown
It's a cliché, it's a cop out
Trying to make it in new ground
Wish I could say that I'm better off now
But I'm a mess, it's what I get
I don't think that she'd take me back
Cause we've grown too far apart now
Yeah I broke up with my hometown
Shе was always stubborn in her own way
Good with business, didn't like changе
And I got defensive sharing my dreams, she had her doubts
Though I still didn't agree with the message
She was worried, being protective
Sometimes the way we learn to love just lets you down
And eventually the nightmares all catch up to you
You can't outrun your future too
So I did what I had to do

It's a cliché, it's a cop out
Trying to make it in new ground
Wish I could say that I'm better off now
But I'm a mess, it's what I get
I don't think that she'd take me back
Cause we've grown too far apart now
Yeah we've grown too far apart
From the lightning bugs that we caught in a jar

But you wake up one day resenting the seasons
You hate all the things that you know for no reason
A problem that's buried deep under your skin
You can't help but go with the easiest fix
I broke up with my hometown
Yeah I broke up with my hometown
