Hometown
We Are the Guests Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The stories we'll tell when we get home
It took a year or maybe more
Just to see it's a beautiful life we lead
I buried the thief he'd taken my time up
I don't recognize him anymore
I'll keep up with the pace cause I'm up on the stage
And I know I'm getting real close to hometown
I'm getting real close to hometown
I wanna be home right now
I'm getting real close to hometown
Hometown
I'll meet you there when we get off the road
I'll be fine wherever I'm known
And as the places we go fill with faces I know
We're getting real close to hometown
And I know now we're getting real close to home home home home
I'm getting real close to hometown
I wanna be home right now
I'm getting real close to hometown
Hometown
Is this my turn I feel I have a lot to learn
Will I return? A year can feel like an eternity
But me and you, we're building up a castle made of stone
It feels like hometown, nostalgic but we made it new

Hi TT. They sure are! My wife and I will be going to their show in Kansas City. If they will be in your area or not too far away, I think it'll be an awesome opportunity to see them live in a personal environment.
