New Hope, PA

29 miles and I could've been loved
Guess your small town wasn't small enough
29 miles and I would've stayed home
The Delaware stares like it's begging me on

I would change in the car
Play you the part
Honest
Head in the dark
Guarding my heart
Again
Every echo of a touch on skin
Only reminds me of whose hands I've been in

I was in New Hope calling you back
Calling you out 'cause you're all that I had
Feet on a ground that could never be home
Where did I love you?
Why did I go?
I was in New Hope calling a cab
All the illusion was all that I had
I'm on a first name with every bone
All that I went through is all that I own

29 miles couldn't break my stand
Daddy raised hell 'cause he thought he raised a man
Thought he could hold it, but what do I know?
Now I'm grieving a man who lives down the road

I would change in the car
Play you the part
Honest
Head in the dark
Guarding my heart
Again
Every echo of a touch on skin
Only reminds me of whose hands I've been in

I was in New Hope calling you back
Calling you out 'cause you're all that I had
Feet on a ground that could never be home
Where did I love you?
Why did I go?
I was in New Hope calling a cab
All the illusion was all that I had
I'm on a first name with every bone
All that I went through is all that I own

I'm tired of my life being part of your concept
I believe love is a call to be honest
You could one-hand everything I know
Where did I love you?
Why did I go?
I was running the track
Running my laps
Bleeding
All of the noise
None of the boys
Believed me
Every echo of a touch on skin
Only reminds me of whose hands I've been in

I was in New Hope calling you back
Calling you out 'cause you're all that I had
Feet on a ground that could never be home
Where did I love you?
Why did I go?

I was in New Hope calling a cab
All the illusion was all that I had
I'm on a first name with every bone
All that I went through is all that I own
