I need you more than I need that town
You're on the porch aren't you?
What could be that important?
Is that a train I hear in the background?
In that deer crossing sign
I wonder what she's doing
Baby, I can't tell you how good it felt
Gonna watch the sun go down
She's probably looking out that kitchen window
I find it hard breathe
Before the sun goes down
Gonna ditch this town
Population minus one
In your arms it feels like home
It feels so good to breathe
I find it hard breathe
Kiss me, kiss me again
Just look at you and me
I'm outta here
Let's see, smog or the smell of summer in your hair
You know some of those were ours
To roll back into this little map dot
Before the sun goes down
All those post game celebration, beer bottle dents
Gonna leave this phone hangin', I'm gone
Restin' that head on her shoulder
I came this close to making the biggest mistake of my life
Population minus one
Seeing those sugar maples shading main street
And I never noticed it before but I smiled when I saw
That green grass and clear sky
With you here next to me
Without you next to me
Population minus one
Gonna ditch this town
Where they going so fast?
That's what I ought to be doing with you right now
Your bare feet propped up on those chain links
Toenails painted cotton candy pink, oh, man
Tryin' to swim upstream in a river of vacant eyed people
Got your head resting on that pillow on the swing
Oh, yeah, I know what I was thinkin', I wasn't
Without you next to me
Putting his arms around her waist
Telling her how much he loves her
Gonna leave this phone hangin', I'm gone
And I miss Mama
Daddy's probably sneakin' up behind her
