lyrics

I came to you by plane when I was only nine or ten
But since then I’ve been living with that weight above my head
As a child I never understood the words your river sung to me at night

And over time I’m older and your streets become a page 
And every night I’m writing on my plans for my escape 
And I’m sure you’ll never miss me here, your streets won’t call my name

So count me out
So count me out
So count me out
Of my hometown 

‘Cause I don’t wanna die here
In a town that never waits 
And I don’t wanna die here
Forever haunted by mistakes
And I don’t wanna die here
So I’ll join the lucky few, who pack their bags and leave my adolescence safely out of view

They come here to grow older and they stay here for the quiet
This city sleeps on stolen lands and dreams of early nights
And I’m sure you’ll never miss me here, your streets won’t call my name

You think you’re pretty special cause you’re never on the dole 
You win a lot of sport and sell coal straight out of a hole
And you drink too much and I drink too, you taught me how and now I’m through
I’ve got no more to prove

So count me out
So count me out
So count me out
Of my hometown 
 
‘Cause I don’t wanna die here
In a town that never waits 
And I don’t wanna die here
Forever haunted by mistakes
And I don’t wanna die here
So I’ll join the lucky few, who pack their bags and leave my adolescence safely out of view

‘Cause I don’t wanna die here
In a town that never waits 
And I don’t wanna die here
Forever haunted by mistakes
And I don’t wanna die here
So I’ll join the lucky few, and pack my bags and leave my adolescence safely out of view
