lyrics

It's a paper town on a dogeared map
A hundred versions of the same ball cap
This accent flows through our bloodline
Watered down by all this time

The kids all go to school for something
And wind up doing something else
They get born right into great big plans
Before they can think for themselves

So if I had to guess
I'd say we'll never get out of this mess
That’s why I never say never
I just think it in my head

But maybe if we're lucky
We'll grow up to be townies
Watch the home team lose and curse them out like they can hear us through the TV
Just like mom and just like dad
It's really not so bad
And we have learned not to hope for more than that

The Crow's Nest was empty Tuesday night
The usual suspects all took flight
But they don't ever get that far
The graveyard's across the street from the bar

The proverbs on the walls inside
Couldn't give you half the wisdom that you need to survive
I recognize everyone I see
Because I look like them and they look like me

So if I had to guess
I'd say you're anxious and depressed
Everybody here's got something
So we don't bother to ask

But maybe if we're lucky
We'll grow up to be townies
Learn the names of every suburb and never give up on the rivalries
It's all we've ever had
It's really not so bad
And we have learned not to hope for more than that

We only sleep during the day
We're just putting on a face
And acting like we're not all wearing costumes
But at a certain age
Everybody starts to say
"I used to"
"I used to"
And I used to

But maybe if we're lucky
We won't always be townies
No one owes us anything, it's up to us to take the leap
Collect the courage you've got left
Still screaming in your chest
And don't be ashamed to hope for more than this
