lyrics

Today I went for a walk
I went to the park where we once chilled yeah
Stayed till it got dark
stayed till I was scared i might get killed yeah

This town really changed
so much since i was a kid yeah
its stuff that seems mundane
but to me the change is crazy big

And yeah i know its sad
I think it will be fine
Change can drive you mad
It happens all the time

Yeah I know its sad, I want it really bad.
We been in this for generations
Gotta get rich or just jump in a ditch
Our parents keep telling us to have some patience
Like planting a tree, shoulda got a degree
Shoulda been born in a different zip code
Don’t wanna be rich, don’t wanna be selfish
i just wana own my own home

Today i went out for a drive
tried to get lunch at my favorite spot
I thought i must’ve lost my mind
the diner is now a parking lot

They’re building up lofts
Shiny, sleek, tall & gourges
you’d die if you jumped off
but its probably nice if you can afford it

My friends all in a better place
Small towns, more affordable
they got starters homes far away
Maybe its not horrible

So I’m trying to get my money up
Probably gonna live in the middle of nowhere
Say goodbye to the city I love
I’ll come back if i get rich if i even still care
