Verse
The Casino Doesn't Like When You Run The Tables
And Though The Box Is Wrapped Up Nice, It's Just A Cage To You
Those Electric Fences Buzz
The Stallion Flees The Stable
And That Small Town's Even Smaller Now In Your Rearview
I Ran With All The Wild Things
A Liberated Libertine Who Then Longed For Home
Pre-Chorus
'Cause It's Where I'm From
Aunt Virginia With Her Church Dress On
No Elbows On The Table
And The Neighbor's Lawn Always Looked Better
My Hand-Me-Down Sweater Should've Been From The Mall
Chorus
And You Hate This Song
But You Wake Up On The Train With Your Headphones Gone
Then That Melody Is All You Want
You Never Knew That It Was Babylon
'Til It Was Gone
Verse
The Delicate Beginning Rush
The Feeling You Can Know So Much
Without Knowing Anything At All
And Now That I Can Put This Down
If I Had Known What I Know Now
I Never Would Have Played So Nonchalant
Pre-Chorus
Taxi Cabs And Busy Streets
They Never Bring You Back To Me
I Can't Help But Wish You Took Me With You
Chorus
This Is When The Feeling Sinks In
I Don't Wanna Miss You Like This
Come Back, Be Here, Come Back, Be Here
I Guess You're In London Today
And I Don't Wanna Need You This Way
Come Back, Be Here, Come Back, Be Here
Bridge
You're Using Nostalgia As A Weapon To Hurt Yourself
But Darling, You End Up Hurting Everybody Else
The Self-Harm Of Never Being Where You Are
It's Bedtime, But You're Sitting In Your Car
You're Missin' All The Best Parts
Chorus
But We Were Something, Don't You Think So?
Roaring Twenties, Tossing Pennies In The Pool
And If My Wishes Came True
It Would've Been You
Pre-Chorus
Because I Loved You So
Pretty As A Picture That You Didn't Post
Looking At You Like You're Made Of Solid Gold
Never Official
You Mention You're Single To The Girls At The Bar
Chorus
You Hate This Song
But You Wake Up On The Train With Your Headphones Gone
Then That Melody Is All You Want
You Never Knew That It Was Babylon
'Til It Was Gone
