You Are This Town
Josh Kerr Lyrics

We left initials in a pine tree
We carved our initials into a pine tree as a symbol of our love and connection.

Hand prints in the concrete
Our handprints remain imprinted in the concrete, a lasting reminder of our presence and bond.

Graffiti on the wall of that coffeeshop on 5th
We left our mark through graffiti on the wall of a specific coffeeshop, symbolizing our shared memories and experiences.

I still can't drive by the high school
The sight of the high school reminds me of our past, making it difficult for me to pass by without being reminded of you.

Cause every time that I do
Whenever I drive by the high school, it triggers memories and emotions associated with our time together.

I see us in the bleachers where I leaned for that first kiss
In my mind, I vividly recall the moment we shared our first kiss, leaning against the bleachers at the high school.

I run into your ghost
Your presence lingers in my life, as if I repeatedly encounter your essence and memories wherever I go.

Every where I go
No matter where I go, I can't escape the sense of your presence and the memories we shared.

I see your smile in every sunset, red light, every back road is goodbye, every side street I go down
At every moment, whether it's witnessing a sunset or coming across a red traffic light, every path I take reminds me of your smile and signifies the farewell from our relationship.

Is just another way to make up a reason to drive by to see if that front porch light's on at your house
Each route I choose to take is simply an excuse to pass by your house and check if your front porch light is illuminated, hoping that somehow it signifies your presence.

Take the long away around, like there's some way around it
I intentionally choose longer routes, hoping to find a way to avoid the memories and emotions associated with our past relationship.

Try to get lost, like we never found it
I attempt to lose myself in the journey, hoping to erase the memories of our relationship and pretend as if we never discovered each other.

I just wanna move on cause you moved out
I desire to move forward and let go of the past because you've physically left and moved away.

but I don't know what to do now cause you're gone and still somehow
Despite your absence, I still find it difficult to navigate life without you, unsure of how to proceed without your presence.

There's still tire marks in the driveway
Signs of your presence remain in the tire marks left in the driveway, symbolic of the memories and moments we shared.

In the dresser drawer at my place
I still keep a picture of you laughing during our senior year, safely tucked away in my dresser drawer, representing a keepsake from our time together.

Heard the name the other morning
Recently, I heard someone mention your name, causing my thoughts to momentarily dwell on you.

For more than just a moment
My thoughts lingered on you for an extended period, surpassing a brief passing thought.

I swore I heard your voice like you were still right here
In that moment, I strongly believed that I could hear your voice as if you were physically present, evoking a sense of longing and nostalgia.

You are this town
Your influence and memories permeate every aspect of this town, shaping my experience and perception of the place we once called home together.
