Hometown
I walked alone among the streets of my hometown
As the night eased on the ghosts rose from their graves
They followed me and pulled the sleeves of my jacket
And I tried so hard, but could not remember their names
I know I lost
When the rain washed away the sidewalk chalk
I know regret
Cause it's staring at me in the place that I left it
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
I swear that someday
I will return home
You believed in me
I wanna bring you home, I swear to god
I grew from the leaves
Cause you were always sunny
I wanna be the one
To hold the sun
To bring you home
To lift you up, oh man
Oh man
We're waiting for superman, waiting for superman
I don't wanna let you down
You'll always be my home town
You were the place that wrote my story
And gave love so long before me
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
You'll always be my hometown
I must be a ghost cause I'm still feeling something
I must be a ghost, cause I came back running
This place, I love, I've had enough
It's the kind of place to write a story of
I don't wanna let you down
You'll always be my hometown
You'll always be my hometown
You'll always be my hometown
As the night eased on the ghosts rose from their graves
They followed me and pulled the sleeves of my jacket
And I tried so hard, but could not remember their names
I know I lost
When the rain washed away the sidewalk chalk
I know regret
Cause it's staring at me in the place that I left it
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
I swear that someday
I will return home
You believed in me
I wanna bring you home, I swear to god
I grew from the leaves
Cause you were always sunny
I wanna be the one
To hold the sun
To bring you home
To lift you up, oh man
Oh man
We're waiting for superman, waiting for superman
I don't wanna let you down
You'll always be my home town
You were the place that wrote my story
And gave love so long before me
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
You'll always be my hometown
I must be a ghost cause I'm still feeling something
I must be a ghost, cause I came back running
This place, I love, I've had enough
It's the kind of place to write a story of
I don't wanna let you down
You'll always be my hometown
You'll always be my hometown
You'll always be my hometown
