Small Town

This town never seemed so small

Sitting here staring at these walls

City limits never seemed so far

No other place has ever left a scar

This big, never hit this hard

And maybe it was you maybe it was me

Maybe it was everything

The Friday night lights

The winter snow

So white and so cold

Your hand reaches for mine

And it sends shivers down my spine

And I’m biting my tongue

Trying not to tell you you’re the one

I would give up this live for

I’d die just to hold you a second more, more, more 

It was that old house that I called home

And soon I knew the day would come

To walk away, to move on from what I’ve always known

And dive headfirst into the great unknown

And I’d have to leave this place behind me

In the rearview mirror wrapped up in pine trees

And long nights and secrets we’ll keep

Knee-deep in the memories

Your hand reaches for mine

And it send shivers down my spine

And I’m biting my tongue

Trying not to tell you you’re the one

I would give up this life for

I’d die just to hold you a second more, more, more

I’ll come back to this place

And remember your face

And the beautiful life we chose to make

Before we grew up and hearts had to break

I’ll remember you always

Here in these hallways

Between classes and life we found

The best way we knew how to escape this town

Your hand reaches for mine

And it’s about time

We run away from here

To something unfamiliar

And I’ll tell you you’ve always been the one

My heart beats for you, you’re the only one

One day we’ll look around

And know we owe our whole lives to that small town
