Townie (To Leave Or Die In New England)

from drown by The Great Repression

/

lyrics

Get up, get up, come on, let's go
Hurry, we're trying to leave before
It snows again, we're stuck at home again
Just can't deal with another god damn season
New England, I'm running out of reasons to stay

So we drove down south to the Florida coast
Singing all the stupid songs we loved the most
We learned to measure distance in Declines
Can't help but feel like I'm running out of time

I'm just one suburban kid trapped in captivity
Between shopping mall suburbia and mediocrity
And I'm starting to almost accept the thought
That I might just never leave
If i'm a townie, would you be a townie here with me

If i just keep swimming in the same pond all my life
How am I supposed to impress someone I like
Always say I wanna see the world outside
But I'm really only looking for another place to hide

Tried to find a sanctuary
But instead I found the point of no return
All I wanted was a safe place
When will I ever learn
That all I ever wanted
And all I really need
Were standing right in front of me the whole time
But I wanted to leave

I want to swim in the Pacific
Wanna dance in Mexico
Kiss beneath the Eiffel tower
But that's quite a ways to go
Or we could just stay here
Where the water's cold, but the air is clear, yeah
Or we could get the hell out of New England

I'm just one suburban kid trapped in captivity
Between shopping mall suburbia and mediocrity
And I'm starting to almost accept the thought
That I might just never leave
If i'm a townie, would you be a townie here with me

Or we could get the hell out of New England
