lyrics

My feet drag behind me
In this habitual city
On the paved roads, and the cobblestones
Nothing here is unknown
Until I left it behind

The bartenders here all know me
From my old high school
There's noone here left to meet
By now that much is clear
I'm left with that constant question
Why am I still here?

But there's something sedately sweet
About knowing every street
Every bar, every windy corner
That's never changed
Now home starts fading away
But I'll be back next year
