Hometown - Sea Girls

Lemonade, ripped jeans
Nothing feels real when you're seventeen
I remember it always
Were you up for it always
You'll stay there and we'll move on
You'll never learn the words to my new songs
I remember you always
Were you up for it always

On summer days, when winter bites
Especially on nights like tonight

In our hometown your old man's singing
His heart out to Sinatra swinging
That's life and Tuesday's gloomy
On Fridays a school friend's using
But I don't want to die
And I'll meet you there, but it won't be tonight
'Cause I'm alright, I'm alright living
We're alright and it's just beginning

New Year's Day, going home
I threw up my guts while you kissed someone
I remember it always
Were you up for it always
She's older now, she's really fit
She'll always be the last girl you kissed
She'll remember it always
Were you up for it always

On summer days, when winter bites
Especially on nights like tonight

In our hometown your old man's singing
His heart out to Sinatra swinging
That's life and Tuesday's gloomy
On Fridays a school friend's using
But I don't want to die
And I'll meet you there but it won't be tonight
'Cause I'm alright, I'm alright living
We're alright and it's just beginning

I learnt to swim with you
I went to school with you
I learnt to drive before you
And I got high with you
I watched you lose your way
And I just walked away
I watched your nose bleed out
We didn't talk 'cause it wasn't cool to talk about

In our hometown your old man's singing
His heart out to Sinatra swinging
That's life and Tuesday's gloomy
On Fridays a school friend's using
But I don't want to die
And I'll meet you there but it won't be tonight
'Cause I'm alright, I'm alright living
We're alright and it's just beginning
I'm alright, I'm alright living
We're alright and it's just beginning
