Outside the sun come beating down   we're going back to the town   in letters and memories   and then a pleasant town   The pain when you still lived there   and I couldn't wait   for you to get away   my heart's being pulled around   in a backward town so far away   My old school is getting drunk on the town   don't think they'll ever get out   go home just to realize   why I had to get out   The pain when you still lived there   and I couldn't wait   for you to get away   my heart's being pulled around   in a backward town so far away   so far away   Up, down in the backward town   up, down in the backward town   up, down in the backward town   up, down in the backward town   The pain when you still lived there   and I couldn't wait   for you to get away   my heart's being pulled around   in a backward town so far away   The pain when you still live there   and I couldn't wait   for you to get away   my heart's being pulled around   in a backward town so far away   so far away   so far away   Up, down in the backward town   so far away   up, down in the backward town   so far away   repeat
