Smalltown Phenomenon (Hometown Mix)
You're a small town phenomenon
Ready to fly but your shoes are undone.
There's a fire in your eyes that's second to none.
You're a small town phenomenon.
Every ordinary anybody understands
It's sometimes why you don't leave the crowd.
All the overwhelming unrelenting emotion
Is sometimes why it's like a thundercloud.
When the aeroplane wrote your name in the sky,
All the vowels fell down but not u and I.
It's a small town phenomenon.
Turn left at the corner of the shop that's now gone.
The memories hang like the signs on the lawns.
It's a small town phenomenon.
Old unspoken expectations abandoned
Is sometimes why the past won't let you go.
All the unassuming emptiness overhead
Is sometimes why the clouds hang too low.
When the aeroplane wrote your name in the sky
All the vowels fell down but not u and I.
It's a small town phenomenon
The bench in the park where initials are drawn
Letters paired forever but the moment is gone.
You're a small town phenomenon.
Each unfinished allegory overwrought
Is sometimes why the words crowd your heart.
Every achingly unsatisfied offhand thought
Is sometimes why we knew from the start.
When the aeroplane wrote your name in the sky
All the vowels fell down but not u and I.
It's a small town phenomenon.
You're a small town phenomenon.
Ready to fly but your shoes are undone.
There's a fire in your eyes that's second to none.
You're a small town phenomenon.
Every ordinary anybody understands
It's sometimes why you don't leave the crowd.
All the overwhelming unrelenting emotion
Is sometimes why it's like a thundercloud.
When the aeroplane wrote your name in the sky,
All the vowels fell down but not u and I.
It's a small town phenomenon.
Turn left at the corner of the shop that's now gone.
The memories hang like the signs on the lawns.
It's a small town phenomenon.
Old unspoken expectations abandoned
Is sometimes why the past won't let you go.
All the unassuming emptiness overhead
Is sometimes why the clouds hang too low.
When the aeroplane wrote your name in the sky
All the vowels fell down but not u and I.
It's a small town phenomenon
The bench in the park where initials are drawn
Letters paired forever but the moment is gone.
You're a small town phenomenon.
Each unfinished allegory overwrought
Is sometimes why the words crowd your heart.
Every achingly unsatisfied offhand thought
Is sometimes why we knew from the start.
When the aeroplane wrote your name in the sky
All the vowels fell down but not u and I.
It's a small town phenomenon.
You're a small town phenomenon.
