Hometown
Indy Lyrics

I go back to it
I return to my hometown

My old suburbia once or twice in a year
I visit my previous neighborhood occasionally, perhaps once or twice per year

I know you'll be there
I am aware that you will be present

And you'll come to my parents' house
And you will visit my parental home

They know you by name
My parents are familiar with you and address you by your name

They're sayin', "It's been so long"
They are expressing the sentiment that it has been quite some time since they have seen you

We slip out of the house, we start foolin' around
We exit the residence and engage in playful activities

Like we did when we were young
In the manner that we utilized to do when we were juvenile

Nineteen, we haunted streets that we knew so well
At 19 years old, we frequented the streets that were familiar to us

I cut my feet on the love and the lust I felt
I was injured by the passion and affection I experienced

You're wonderin' if we'll go back to bein' friends
You are questioning whether we will revert to being friends

I just stay quiet so you know now
I remain silent so that you understand

That if I could, you know I'd do it all again
If it was feasible, you comprehend that I would repeat everything

I gave you all of my midnights
I gave you all of my time in the later hours of the day

But baby, now that it's daytime
However, now that it is daylight

Every time I go
Whenever I depart

You won't drive me to the airport
You refuse to transport me to the airport

You say that you'll write and I swear that I'll call
You indicate that you will write to me and I promise that I will phone you

But I don't know what for
However, I am unaware of the reason

When I land in the city
Upon arriving in the city

In the cab, I can taste you still
While travelling in the taxi, I am still under the impression of your presence

Conversations we made
Our completed discussions

It's been stainin' my days
It has been affecting my days in an unpleasant manner

Things that I didn't say
The words that I refrained from stating

So maybe finally, we'll be more than friends
Perhaps, ultimately, we will become more than friends

We both get quiet 'cause we know now
We both become silent since we understand

That if I tried, I'd stay here with all the ends
If I made an effort, I would stay here indefinitely

Underneath the cyprus trees
Beneath the cypress trees

I can see you in my dreams (see you in my dreams)
I can envision you in my subconscious

The way that you're sayin' my name
The manner in which you are enunciating my name

Kind of makes me want to stay
In a way, compels me to want to remain

Stuck in the quiet of my hometown (I have to go now)
Trapped in the silence of my birthplace (I must now leave)

Just stay quiet so you know now (I have to go now)
Simply remain quiet so you understand (I have to leave now)

I gave you all
I provided everything to you
