It's a small town world just by the sea
Nobody bothering you or me
Everybody knows everybody, at least, that's what you think
Cause sometimes you don't show them everything
They're newspapers flashing their headlines and such
But I guess they're never really caring too much
About a small town child living alone
Losing the friend they had called their own.
But back when we're the only ones left in our mind
Maybe we can leave history behind.
So let's go home since we're both standing here
Cause I hate passing your house when I know you're not there.

It's just a small town a big world.
We're our own sympathy.
It's just a small town in a big world
And it's just you and me.
Take me into your arms, take this broken girl
Let's forget about this small town in a big world.

I was scared of you so I ran and hid
I dropped you hard and I'm sorry I did.
Too big for this town so I chased you away
But I still think of you every single day.
So won't you walk the streets with me?
And leave this all in memory?
Well this small town's no paradise
But I hear the bluffs are pretty nice.
Kindred spirits in this small town
But none of us want each other around
I thought I'd gotten over you
So why am I still in love with you?

It's just a small town a big world.
We're our own sympathy.
It's just a small town in a big world
And it's just you and me.
Take me into your arms, take this broken girl
Let's forget about this small town in a big world.

The traffic lights gleam
With the stream of the rain
The high school boys
Are destroyin' the basketball game.
No one's on the streets
In this small town world
But when everyone's gone
I guess we could go catch a burger
Or somethin'

It's just a small town a big world.
We're our own sympathy.
It's just a small town in a big world
And it's just you and me.
Take me into your arms, take this broken girl
Let's forget about this small town in a big world.

It's just a small town a big world.
We're our own sympathy.
It's just a small town in a big world
And it's just you and me.
Take me into your arms, take this broken girl
Let's forget about this small town in a big world.
