Everyone has a place that they know better than anywhere else they go
Where the streets are littered with letters from lovers from the last ten years
And you could drown in your tears if you hung around long enough
But that's anyone's hometown
You know the lines in the sidewalk like the ones in your hands
And the place where you wrote in the concrete like it was sand
It's like a knife in the chest to drive by your childhood home
Not knowing who's cooking in the kitchen and dreaming in the place where you had grown
But that's anyone's hometown
It's as hard to come as it is to leave
A place that can be hard to breath
That's anyone's hometown
A place that forged your way
Whether you leave or stay
In anyone's hometown
Now you gone far away to try on a brand new place
Put on a brand new face
And you're prepared to take the day
And they say that, "you take yourself wherever you go"
So your heart will show who you are, wherever you are
That's anyone's hometown
It's as hard to come as it is to leave
A place that can be hard to breath
That's anyone's hometown
A place that forged your way
Whether you leave or stay
In anyone's hometown
It's as hard to come as it is to leave
A place that can be hard to breath
That's anyone's hometown
A place that forged your way
Whether you leave or stay
In anyone's hometown
In anyone's hometown
In anyone's hometown
