lyrics

sun is hot the air is thick
i'm waiting at the corner of clark and saint-zotique
for someone that’ll help me get out of here
like that’s where i'd rather be than just standing here

you’d be hard pressed to leave this place behind
now that things ain’t so bad here anymore
you’d be hard pressed to leave this place behind

walk around, in my evening dress
street lamps glimmering very suspiciously—
and someone is calling my name
from the backseat of a cab

and all fares well, in my hometown
where everything is different but nothing has changed
you see us go by like you’re riding a train
and the feeling is gone but you stay, just the same

pack up move out
come back without
saying “I can no longer stick around
in my hometown”

pack up move out
come back saying
“there was always something
bringing me down
in my hometown”

you’d be hard pressed to leave this place behind
now that things ain’t so bad here anymore
you’d be hard pressed to leave this place behind
now that things ain’t so bad here anymore

tough love, kid
that’s what I say to me

Gorgeous and moving, this album fills a musical void in my collection that I didn't know existed. With lyrics that speak about the human condition and instrumentals that have a medieval flair, this has become my new musical addiction 😁 Not a single note is wasted here 9RnK7
