The streets are singing a broken promise
Flickering lights that have been forgotten
Maybe you think that nobody's home yet
The city you'd love if you came any closer

Scribbled on to these walls
Are messages from before

From people that come and go
Through like a travelling show
Nobody stays for long
In my town
In my town

Nobody's rushing at nine in the morning
And nobody's worried about where you're going
Happy and sad, with no expectation
If you wanna visit, we'll meet at the station

Scribbled on to at these walls
Are messages from before

From people that come and go
Through like a travelling show
Nobody stays for long
In my town
In my town

MM
Just visitors in the night
MM
Just strangers and passers by

People they come and go
Through like a travelling show
Nobody stays for long
So please could you be the one
Who stays till the morning sun
In my town
In my town
