lyrics

And so you say I’ve been away
But I’ve been thinking of ways to stay
’Cause see, this town, it leaves me broken
Hopeless, but devoted

And so I stand on city corners
As days grow long and nights grow colder
Armed with a heavy heart and knocked by cold shoulders
I feel I am...


Ankle deep in the middle of the water
The icy cold takes away my breath
And leaves me gasping; choked for air
And knowing I’m out of my depth

Ankle deep in the middle of the water
The creeping cold makes its way to my chest
That hollow space that never seems to function
Except to pump the blood to my face
In times of crisis and opportunity


And when even my body is putting up boundaries
How can I expect to be free?

So you say I’ve been away
But I’ve been thinking of ways to stay
’Cause see, this town, it leaves me broken
Hopeless, but devoted


Ankle deep in the middle of the water
The creeping cold makes its way to my chest
That hollow space that never seems to function
Except to pump the blood to my face


And I feel the heat, and it burns my skin
And I feel the water, and I let it in


And when even my body is putting up boundaries
How can I expect to be free?

So you say I’ve been away
But I’ve been thinking of ways to stay
’Cause see, this town, it leaves me broken
Hopeless, but devoted


This town that I loved so well
Has turned its back on me, I can tell
And when the silence sinks, I hope you think of me
And everything that we could’ve been

This town that I loved so well
Has turned its back on me, I can tell


And if I leave this town
It won’t remember me
And if I leave this town
I know I’ll take it with me


So you say I’ve been away
But I’ve been thinking of ways to stay
’Cause see, this town, it leaves me broken
Hopeless, but devoted
