The American Scene - Home lyrics

I've been crossing out the days 'til All of you can hear me sing And I remember that summer when We all caught our second wind Well, maybe I'm not the man that I thought I've become But that's just the way things are where I'm from When time turns our dreams to more everyday things We can never lose our pride in what we've done Still, I've never been one for settlin' I've been making a list of the things I won't miss About this lonestar town and everyone who never saw What we were always singing for Everyone, everyone in this town (Everyone) Is standing up to sing heavy heart songs (in this town) Running out of patience with our own self-pity (sang it out) But it's good to know that somebody still feels like me (let it out.) I just get so caught up in these Everyday eyes and those sleepless night stares I start being surprised when my friend's disappearing I'm left here wondering where I was While they packed up all the things that I love And I've gotten used to not missing you Over time, I understate All those things that make me separate While I lay awake and think about Everything that I can never be again Everyone, everyone in this town (Everyone) Is standing up to sing heavy heart songs (in this town) Running out of patience with our own self-pity (sang it out) But it's good to know that somebody still feels like me (let it out.) These months that I spend closer to the sun have been Screaming at me, "Kid, you can't just run away from Everything that you're always so, so afraid To let everyone hear you say Like 'These days, it seems like all I have left are Outgoing calls to the people who, if they only knew better Wouldn't care about any of this at all.'" Everyone, everyone in this town (Everyone) Is standing up to sing heavy heart songs (in this town) Running out of patience with our own self-pity (sang it out) But it's good to know that somebody still feels like me (let it out.)
