[Verse 1]
The streets are singing a broken promise
Flickering lights that have been forgotten
Maybe you think that nobody's home yet
The city you'd love if you came any closer

[Pre-Chorus]
Scribbled on to these walls
Are messages from before

[Chorus]
From people that come and go
Through like a travelling show
Nobody stays for long
In my town
In my town

[Verse 2]
Nobody's rushing at nine in the morning
And nobody's worried about where you're going
Happy and sad, with no expectation
If you wanna visit, we'll meet at the station

[Pre-Chorus]
Scribbled on to at these walls
Are messages from before
[Chorus]
From people that come and go
Through like a travelling show
Nobody stays for long
In my town
In my town

[Bridge]
Mmm
Just visitors in the night
Mmm
Just strangers and passers by

[Chorus 2]
People they come and go
Through like a travelling show
Nobody stays for long
So please could you be the one
Who stays till the morning sun
In my town
In my town
