This Town
Boshra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This same town, brings back all the memories.
Lash it out, what do you want from me?
This same town, brings out the worst in me.
What I’ve been, is not what you’ve heard of me.
With all these memories, I don’t know what I’d do,
what I could say. That I want you.
With all these memories, I don’t know how I’d feel,
what I could say. That I want you.

Just set me free.
All that I want to, all that I need to, is release.
Far from the outcome of what you make me believe..
All that I want to, all that I need to, is release.
Far from the outcome of what you make me believe..
Is me.
This same town, feeds inside of me.
Forget it all, the thoughts don’t make me feel.
With all these memories, I don’t know what I’d do,
what I could say. That I want you.
With all these memories, I don’t know how I’d feel,
what I could say. That I want you.
Just set me free.
All that I want to, all that I need to, is release.
Far from the outcome of what you make me believe..
All that I want to, all that I need to, is release.

Far from the outcome of what you make me believe..
Is me.
