You Are This Town

(album: 12 Of 12 - 2021)

We left initials in a pine tree
Hand prints in the concrete
Graffiti on the wall of that coffeeshop on 5th

I still can't drive by the high school
'Cause every time that I do
I see us in the bleachers where I leaned in for that first kiss

I run into your ghost
Every where I go

I see your smile in every sunset, red light, every back road is goodbye, every side street I go down
Is just another way to make up a reason to drive by to see if that front porch light's on at your house
Take the long away around, like there's some way around it
Try to get lost, like we never found it
I just wanna move on cause you moved out
But I don't know what to do now 'cause you're gone and still somehow
You are this town

There's still tire marks in the driveway
The dresser drawer at my place
I still got that picture of you laughing senior year

Heard the name the other morning
For more than just a moment
I swore I heard your voice like you were still right here

I see your smile in every sunset, red light, every back road is goodbye, every side street I go down
Is just another way to make up a reason to drive by to see if that front porch light's on at your house
Take the long away around, like there's some way around it
Try to get lost, like we never found it
I just wanna move on cause you moved out
But I don't know what to do now 'cause you're gone and still somehow
You are this town

And I run into your ghost
Every where I go

I see your smile in every sunset, red light, every back road is goodbye, every side street I go down
Is just another way to make up a reason to drive by to see if that front porch light's on at your house
Take the long away around, like there's some way around it
Try to get lost, like we never found it
I just wanna move on cause you moved out
But I don't know what to do now 'cause you're gone and still somehow
You are this town
You are this town
