I still remember back when we were kids
Back when we'd roam the streets and up over the hills
We ruled our world and it felt like we were the kings
Each day a new adventure all through the years
Every memory we made was here in this town
But when we grew up we all said we couldn't wait to leave
I don't want to leave this small town
But it just doesn't feel like I have a choice
All my friends have moved on
Onto bigger things
And here I am all alone
In this small town
I miss when we would hang out after school
Walk half across the town in just a few minutes
Knew everyone by their name: young or old
Memorized the whole borough like the back of our hands
Every memory we made was here in this town
But when we grew up we all said we couldn't wait to leave
I don't want to leave this small town
But it just doesn't feel like I have a choice
All my friends have moved on
Onto bigger things
And here I am all alone
In this small town
Oh why do I feel I have to go
What's the point of staying now
What's the point in leaving
Realistically I have no reasons for either choice
The question I need to answer now is why can't I stay
I don't want to leave this small town
But it just doesn't feel like I have a choice
All my friends have moved on
Onto bigger things
And here I am all alone
In this small town
