Never Be Far

Some take the train all the way to LA
Some never get off the tracks
I’d never thought I’d live to see the day
I’d say, “Goodbye, call us back”
That was the roof where I smoked my first cigarette
Praying I wouldn’t get caught
I’m still the ghost of that teenage silhouette
Growing up’s not what I thought

Even long after I’m gone

This town, those streets hold a piece of me there
Love-drunk, sixteen
Oh, I promise, wherever I carry your heart with me
I’ll never be far, I’ll never be far
Hold on for now, it’s not forever
I swear I’ll make you proud
Oh, I promise, wherever I carry your heart with me
I’ll never be far, never be far from home

Senior year, saying goodbye to Sage Creek
Felt my heart break in those halls
I asked out a girl and they laughed at me
I swear nobody talks like those walls
First time I realized I wasn’t invincible
Broke a bone tryna show off
Name on a cast, proof I wasn’t invisible
First taste of fame that I got

Even long after I’m gone

This town, those streets hold a piece of me there
Love-drunk, sixteen
Oh, I promise, wherever I carry your heart with me
I’ll never be far, I’ll never be far
Hold on for now, it’s not forever
I swear I’ll make you proud
Oh, I promise, wherever I carry your heart with me
I’ll never be far, never be far

Home, home
Home, home
Wherever I carry your heart with me
I’ll never be far, never be far from home

The place that raised me wants to change me
I would not be who I am without

This town, those streets hold a piece of me there
Love-drunk, sixteen
Oh, I promise, wherever I carry your heart with me
I’ll never be far, I’ll never be far (Hey)
Hold on for now, it’s not forever
I swear I’ll make you proud
Oh, I promise, wherever I carry your heart with me
I’ll never be far, never be far from

Home, home
Home, home
Wherever I carry your heart with me
I’ll never be far, never be far from home
