Small town show

I thought I'd never survive
I thought this small town was my life
That I couldn't leave behind
The life that I had in mind

I thought I'd get bored
If no one knows me at the store
I'd be shopping groceries
With no one saying hi to me

Feeling like a big somebody
With people talking about me
What is it that you wanna say?
You don't like me and my ways?

And then there's the old friends
To cling to during weekends
Getting drunk at the same bar
It defines who we are

Everyone blames the sea
As a reason not to leave
They can't go without the sand
And that's how the community stands

How can I leave everyone that made me?
How can I leave everyone that hates me?
How can I leave everyone I know?
And move over this whole small town show?

But no more common ground
No more the talk of the town
And whenever I come around
I can leave without a sound

You can pass me by without hello
Talk about me and I won't know
Cause I feel freed now I let go
And left the small town show
