lyrics

Sophomore City, been here way too long.
Something's missing but I don't know what.
In your eyes am I still so hopeful?
Nothing graceful, nothing gone.

And you'll smile when I catch you leaving.
I'll even help you with your bags.
I'll be so charmed I'll forget I'm dreaming
Of the sweetest times I've never had.
Oh no.

In the end our smiles fade, nothing left to be...

Please don't send me home,
I'll be what you want me to.
The stiffness in my bones
It subsides when given time to
Break. To stand.
Too wrong, too slow, just let me go.
So please don't send me home,
I'll be what you want me to be...

Sophomore City, I'm in debt to you.
The signals often come too late.
I paid for something that I thought I knew,
But I don't mind this wasted time alone.

And I can't see the faces on the street.
The buildings are reflecting what I need.
And I don't want to stay here anymore,
It's harder when the lights aren't like before.

In the end our smiles fade, nothing left to be...

Please don't send me home,
I'll be what you want me to.
The stiffness in my bones
It subsides when given time to
Break. To stand.
Too wrong, too slow, just let me go.
So please don't send me home,
I'll be what you want me to be...
