《Edit Your Hometown》歌词

[00:00:00] Edit Your Hometown - La Dispute

[00:00:19] An outcry

[00:00:20] To lost dreams and the sense of wonder

[00:00:22] To the streets that raised him say goodbye

[00:00:25] To the hope for the home he'd been holding

[00:00:27] Say goodbye and be gone and be great

[00:00:29] To the friends who left when they still could

[00:00:32] For the ones who chose to stay

[00:00:34] To waste away unplaced

[00:00:35] Alone and pray

[00:00:37] To get out to grow old to grow strong

[00:00:38] And leave this city

[00:00:41] So familiar

[00:00:42] All its places

[00:00:43] All these memories

[00:00:44] Turn each day more to gray

[00:00:47] More they space out till it's

[00:00:49] Once a year we'll catch up

[00:00:51] Maybe less

[00:00:51] Or else just daydreams

[00:00:53] While he's working late

[00:00:55] Thinks only of those friends

[00:00:57] And when they left

[00:00:58] Are we still friends

[00:01:00] At all my friends

[00:01:02] Can I leave

[00:01:04] Rewind and find a younger man

[00:01:06] All hopes and goals and dreams alight

[00:01:09] And bright with friendship

[00:01:10] At the crossroads in the night

[00:01:12] Now make a choice

[00:01:13] The city said

[00:01:15] We were barely twenty then

[00:01:17] But while I swore it my allegiance

[00:01:20] They chose leaving all my friends

[00:01:22] And now it's letters

[00:01:23] Maybe phone calls

[00:01:25] That come less and less each year

[00:01:27] All addressed with wives and children

[00:01:29] To the fool who chose to stay here

[00:01:32] And it hurts me to know I'm alone now

[00:01:35] And it's worse when I know that I chose it

[00:01:37] Don't make the same mistake as me

[00:01:40] Don't make the same mistake

[00:01:45] And now my friends have all left

[00:01:50] Or it's been me gone all along

[00:01:52] I guess we all part one day

[00:01:54] And drop like leaves into the breeze

[00:01:57] And ain't it wild

[00:01:59] Ain't it bitter

[00:02:00] Didn't it carry you from me

[00:02:02] But it's the coping with my fear

[00:02:04] That keeps me here see once it's gone

[00:02:07] Do I regret you

[00:02:08] You can't retrieve it

[00:02:09] Can I forget you

[00:02:11] I still believe

[00:02:12] I might get left here

[00:02:14] I might turn 63

[00:02:16] Still sweeping up the gutters in the street

[00:02:19] Or weeding concrete

[00:02:21] Wait and see

[00:02:22] We'll wait and see

[00:02:23] Or rather I will

[00:02:24] Only me

[00:02:25] Only me

[00:02:29] Don't make the same mistake as me

[00:02:33] Don't make the same mistake

[00:02:38] Don't make the same mistake as me

[00:02:42] Say goodbye and be gone and be great

[00:02:45] And be done and be free
