"My Own Hometown" lyrics

"My Own Hometown"

Twenty years goes by fast
I know they say you can't live in the past
Well I came back here to find what's left of me
So I walked the halls of our old high school
Sat alone in the church where I met you
Drove by the bank where your house used to be
Well I'm a stranger in my own hometown

Nothing much of me left here now
I can't find a trace of me and you
No one here even knows my name
Even the memories don't seem the same
I'm a stranger, stranger in my own hometown
Went to the diner where we said goodbye
Just to see if it would make me cry
But I just drank my coffee feeling empty
Well I blew past that city limit sign
Population that left me behind
Wishing there was someone there who missed me

Wished they missed me
Well I'm a stranger in my own hometown
Nothing much of me left there now
I can't find a trace of me and you
No one there even knows my name
Even the memories don't seem the same
I'm a stranger, stranger in my own hometown
No one there even knows my name
Even the memories don't seem the same
I'm a stranger, stranger in my own hometown
Yeah, I'm a stranger, stranger in my own hometown

That used to be where I belonged
Guess time and you and I moved on
