[Verse 1] Same old ring road Same old off-license glow You’re leaning by the shutters Like you’ve got someplace to go Cheap wine in your backpack Smoke on your second-hand coat You said “You leaving or staying?” I said “I’m bad at both” [Pre-Chorus] Every train out feels like treason Every step back feels like truth I swear I’m gone with the season Then I’m back outside with you (with you) [Chorus] Mama told me run from this town But I keep coming back for you Daddy told me to put you down I put down miles in my runnin’ shoes Round and round these dead-end roads Swear I’m done But it ain’t true Mama told me run from this town But I keep coming back for you (for you) [Verse 2] Your name on the toilet door Crossed out Written in hearts We laugh like it doesn’t hurt When the band tears the room apart You kiss me behind the speakers Say “You’ll hate me in the light” But every time I taste the leaving You drag me back into the night [Pre-Chorus] Every fight ends in a whisper Every “finished” comes out thin I make peace with the distance Then your number pulls me in (again) [Chorus] Mama told me run from this town But I keep coming back for you Daddy told me to put you down I put down miles in my runnin’ shoes Round and round these dead-end roads Swear I’m done But it ain’t true Mama told me run from this town But I keep coming back for you (back for you) [Bridge] Maybe I’m cursed Maybe I’m choosing Maybe this place is my proof Every goodbye feels like I’m losing The only bad habit that ever felt true (so true) [Chorus] Mama told me run from this town But I keep coming back for you Daddy told me to put you down I put down miles in my runnin’ shoes Round and round these dead-end roads Swear I’m done But it ain’t true Mama told me run from this town But I keep coming back for you (Yeah, I keep coming back for you)
