Hometown

Everything comes back to your hometown

You go to college looking for a fresh start

But you know everything about you still gets around

In college who do you go to first, your high school friends

Go to college in the same state

And nothing ever ends

You stay where you are comfortable

Because in an environment with strangers you look for the familiar faces

Seeing a piece of home in crowd places

A sense of relief over flows

You don't need to stress to impress them

They have seen you at your low

Unlike these strangers that surround you

Soon enough you'll feel like you're living in a zoo

And the first person you will turn to will be from your hometown

The last person you'll end up with will be from your hometown

The person you will be with forever will be from your hometown
