When I Come Around

Nobody here asks questions any more
Nobody here would dare to walk out the door
Everybody said I should give up the fight
That's what made me walk away
From here that night

When I come around
You're gonna wonder
How it went down
Ya gonna wonder why
I left this town
But then you'll wonder why you waited so long
To finally come around

I grew up in this town
Where nothing ever changes
Where everything 's safe cuz ya don't allow strangers
But nothing will grow without sunshine or water
Now I'm back here with a warning
For your son and your daughter

So when I come around
You're gonna wonder
How it went down
You might wonder why
I left this town
But then you'll wonder why you waited so long
To finally come around

When I come around
You're gonna wonder
How it went down
You might wonder why
I left this town
But then you'll wonder why you waited so long

Nobody here thinks about what it means
When you raise your children to be like
Young kings and queens
While the clerks and waitresses who work around here
Ride in on a bus and after work they disappear

So, when I come around
You're gonna wonder
How it went down
Oh you might wonder why
I left this town
But then you'll wonder why you waited so long

Oh, when I come around
You're gonna wonder
How it went down
You might wonder why I left this town
But then you'll wonder why you waited so long

Oh, when I come around
You'll knuckle under
When we tear it all down
You're gonna wonder why you never left town
But then you'll realize you waited too long
To finally come around
