[Verse 1] (Male) Suitcase scuffed ticket in my hand That old hill’s waiting like it understands (Female) I hear the trolley rattling up that grade Every brick remembers every plan we made [Chorus] (Both) We’re moving back to the top of town Where the porches lean and the sun sinks down Where the gossip’s hot and the rent runs high But the laughing’s loud and the days fly by We’re moving back to the top of town (oh, top of town) [Verse 2] (Female) Corner café kept our names in chalk Same crooked table same late-night talk (Male) That peeling doorway with the sticky lock Still sings your humming half a block [Chorus] (Both) We’re moving back to the top of town Where the laundry swings as the kids run round Where the floorboards creak but the ghosts are kind And the rooms are small but you don’t mind We’re moving back to the top of town (yeah, top of town) [Bridge] [Short guitar break, bright and playful] (Male) Packed our doubts in a cardboard box (Female) Left our fears on the sidewalk cracks (Male) Every step up that winding walk (Female) Feels like getting something back [Chorus] (Both) We’re moving back to the top of town Where the nights talk soft when the bars wind down Where the neighbors shout “Baby, welcome home!” And the rooftop sky says you’re not alone We’re moving back to the top of town (Take me home) We’re moving back to the top of town
