New Hope, PA Lyrics

29 miles and I could've been loved

Guess your small town wasn't small enough

29 miles and I would've stayed home

The Delaware stares like it's begging me on

I would change in the car

Play you the part

Honest

Head in the dark

Guarding my heart

Again

Every echo of a touch on skin

Only reminds me of whose hands I've been in

I was in New Hope calling you back

Calling you out 'cause you're all that I had

Feet on a ground that could never be home

Where did I love you?

Why did I go?

I was in New Hope calling a cab

All the illusion was all that I had

I'm on a first name with every bone

All that I went through is all that I own

29 miles couldn't break my stand

Daddy raised hell 'cause he thought he raised a man

Thought he could hold it, but what do I know?

Now I'm grieving a man who lives down the road

I would change in the car

Play you the part

Honest

Head in the dark

Guarding my heart

Again

Every echo of a touch on skin

Only reminds me of whose hands I've been in

I was in New Hope calling you back

Calling you out 'cause you're all that I had

Feet on a ground that could never be home

Where did I love you?

Why did I go?

I was in New Hope calling a cab

All the illusion was all that I had

I'm on a first name with every bone

All that I went through is all that I own

I'm tired of my life being part of your concept

I believe love is a call to be honest

You could one-hand everything I know

Where did I love you?

Why did I go?

I was running the track

Running my laps

Bleeding

All of the noise

None of the boys

Believed me

Every echo of a touch on skin

Only reminds me of whose hands I've been in

I was in New Hope calling you back

Calling you out 'cause you're all that I had

Feet on a ground that could never be home

Where did I love you?

Why did I go?

I was in New Hope calling a cab

All the illusion was all that I had

I'm on a first name with every bone

All that I went through is all that I own
