Out of This Town

from The North Star by The Ivy League

/

lyrics

If I could remember the colors and shapes that I first saw
then I’d take a picture and paint it all over my bedroom wall
but my memory fails me so all I have left are photographs
which I’ll keep safe until the day that you come back

But maybe you won’t
And what if you don’t,
And I’m left here waiting all alone?
And these photographs
Are all that I have left.
Maybe I’m silently slipping into my own death.
And I don’t know where I will go,
Take the next train far away from home
‘Cause I need to get out of this town.

Dear sister singer, show me the answer send a sign
‘Cause I crossed the state line, and I’m slippin’ into sunshine.
All I got is my guitar, walkin’ along the southbound tracks,
And that’s where I’ll stay, until the day that you come back.

But maybe you won’t
And what if you don’t,
And I’m left here waiting all alone?
And these photographs
Are all that I have left.
Maybe I’m silently slipping into my own death.
And I don’t know where I will go,
Take the next train far away from home
‘Cause I need to get out, I need to get out.

‘Cause I need to get out,
I need to get out of this town.
