Often people wish they lived somewhere else because they think their life sucks where they are, but moving somewhere else is not going to make your problems go away. Living in another place sure is an awesome experience generally, but being home is also equally awesome if we learn how to make it so. Not sure if that makes any sense.
This song also includes the outro.
lyrics
Sometimes, I want to go far away.
Sometimes, I just want to disappear
and get away from everything.
But when I do, I find that it's just the same,
when I do, I see that nothing has changed,
'cause we're the ones that make the difference.
Nothing will make sense as long as the stars keep falling down,
but everything'll get better when we get to our own hometown.
This town is so full of promises,
but we won't bother looking for them,
'cause we're blinded by maps, tv, and dreams.
We look for new places to live again,
look for new places we could call home,
ignoring the ones we leave behind.
OUTRO
Oh how I love the scent of winter when at last it's come this starry night. The streetlights illuminate the city and the snowflakes are flooding the concrete roads...
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
