Halsey - Hometown Lyrics
Official




So I'm playin' the drums, right? Okay

Davie died in the summertime in a hotboxed car
With a seatbelt 'round his neck and a needle in his arm
We would smoke out in the parkin' lot behind convenience shops
I bought a couple of grams of weed off him, but so did all the cops
Back then, the kids from other county, we would walk out in the heat
'Long the train tracks with our paper bags, and gravel in our feet
In our heads, we picked the husband from the hundred men we knew
But I kissed a poster of a pop star and checked my breasts in case they grew

There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown
Somewhere in the clouds, Davie's runnin' for a touchdown
The crowd appears and his mother cheers, she's wavin' from the field
And he's evergreen as seventeen for the last eleven years

Ooh-ooh, ah
Ooh-ooh, ah

No, I never felt like anyone, I was a paradoxul lie
I didn't think that I was special, but I was too afraid to die
Like the others from my high school, all those sad suburban ghosts
Trapped in a cross next to a highway, while the rest of us get old

There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown
Somewhere in the clouds, Davie's runnin' for a touchdown
The crowd appears and his mother cheers, she's wavin' from the field
And he's evergreen as seventeen for the last eleven years

Ooh-ooh, ah
Ooh-ooh, ah

The America dream means stayin' young forever
And a picture in our pamphlet gettin' yellow from the weather
And years will pass since science class and I might forget your name
But when the crow's feet come, the kingdom come, well, you'll always look the same

There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown
Somewhere in the clouds, Davie's runnin' for a touchdown
Crowd appears and his mother cheers, she's wavin' from the field
He's evergreen as seventeen for the last eleven years

Ooh-ooh, ah (evergreen as seventeen)
Ooh-ooh, ah (evergreen as seventeen)
Ooh-ooh, ah (evergreen as seventeen)
Ooh-ooh, ah (evergreen as seventeen)
