Edit Your Hometown - La Dispute[00:00:00]
An outcry[00:00:19]
To lost dreams and the sense of wonder[00:00:20]
To the streets that raised him say goodbye[00:00:22]
To the hope for the home he'd been holding[00:00:25]
Say goodbye and be gone and be great[00:00:27]
To the friends who left when they still could[00:00:29]
For the ones who chose to stay[00:00:32]
To waste away unplaced[00:00:34]
Alone and pray[00:00:35]
To get out to grow old to grow strong[00:00:37]
And leave this city[00:00:38]
So familiar[00:00:41]
All its places[00:00:42]
All these memories[00:00:43]
Turn each day more to gray[00:00:44]
More they space out till it's[00:00:47]
Once a year we'll catch up[00:00:49]
Maybe less[00:00:51]
Or else just daydreams[00:00:51]
While he's working late[00:00:53]
Thinks only of those friends[00:00:55]
And when they left[00:00:57]
Are we still friends[00:00:58]
At all my friends [00:01:00]
Can I leave [00:01:02]
Rewind and find a younger man[00:01:04]
All hopes and goals and dreams alight[00:01:06]
And bright with friendship[00:01:09]
At the crossroads in the night[00:01:10]
Now make a choice[00:01:12]
The city said[00:01:13]
We were barely twenty then[00:01:15]
But while I swore it my allegiance[00:01:17]
They chose leaving all my friends[00:01:20]
And now it's letters[00:01:22]
Maybe phone calls[00:01:23]
That come less and less each year[00:01:25]
All addressed with wives and children[00:01:27]
To the fool who chose to stay here[00:01:29]
And it hurts me to know I'm alone now[00:01:32]
And it's worse when I know that I chose it[00:01:35]
Don't make the same mistake as me[00:01:37]
Don't make the same mistake[00:01:40]
And now my friends have all left[00:01:45]
Or it's been me gone all along [00:01:50]
I guess we all part one day[00:01:52]
And drop like leaves into the breeze[00:01:54]
And ain't it wild [00:01:57]
Ain't it bitter [00:01:59]
Didn't it carry you from me [00:02:00]
But it's the coping with my fear[00:02:02]
That keeps me here see once it's gone[00:02:04]
Do I regret you [00:02:07]
You can't retrieve it[00:02:08]
Can I forget you [00:02:09]
I still believe[00:02:11]
I might get left here[00:02:12]
I might turn 63[00:02:14]
Still sweeping up the gutters in the street[00:02:16]
Or weeding concrete[00:02:19]
Wait and see[00:02:21]
We'll wait and see[00:02:22]
Or rather I will[00:02:23]
Only me[00:02:24]
Only me[00:02:25]
Don't make the same mistake as me[00:02:29]
Don't make the same mistake[00:02:33]
Don't make the same mistake as me[00:02:38]
Say goodbye and be gone and be great[00:02:42]
And be done and be free[00:02:45]
