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, Carlsbad

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
Names 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 from

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

The place that raised me, ones who 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
