[Pre-Chorus] Everyone’s gone home, the windows all go dark She stays out a little longer just to feel her own heartbeat start [Chorus] She’s a small town girl in a lonely world Looking for a reason to keep holding on She’s a small town girl and the night feels long With nothing but the silence and a half-forgotten song Oh, small town girl [Verse 2] She walks past the houses with the porch lights left on Wondering if anybody else feels the same when everyone’s gone The radio plays low from somewhere down the block But it doesn’t reach the place where her thoughts have locked [Pre-Chorus] She could turn around, she could go inside But the empty feels familiar and she doesn’t want to hide [Chorus] She’s a small town girl in a lonely world Looking for a reason to keep holding on She’s a small town girl and the night feels long With nothing but the silence and a half-forgotten song Oh, small town girl [Bridge] And the stars don’t answer when she looks up high They just keep on shining like they’ve got somewhere else to be She wraps her arms around herself against the cold And wonders if this feeling’s ever gonna let her go [Final Chorus] She’s a small town girl in a lonely world Looking for a reason to keep holding on She’s a small town girl and the night feels long With nothing but the silence and a half-forgotten song Small town girl… In a lonely world
