lyrics
Verse 1:
There’s a railway hotel in every town around here
If you stick around long enough, they’ll make you disappear
There’s ice in the summer, there’s fights in the bars
And out west of the city, you never see stars
Chorus:
Everyone I know is either married or in rehab
I couldn’t say which one is worse
I’ve got too much supply and never enough demand
I’d kill to live it in reverse
If I want in, I gotta get out
If I want in, I gotta get out of this
If I want in, I gotta get out of this town
Verse 2:
I’m going after this fever dream
You gotta leave to be the homecoming queen
And I’ve left pieces of myself inside every single dive bar
Here in Western Sydney
So I took pieces of her with me
Chorus:
Everyone I know is either married or in rehab
I couldn’t say which one is worse
I’ve got too much supply and never enough demand
I’d kill to live it in reverse
If I want in, I gotta get out
If I want in, I gotta get out of this
If I want in, I gotta get out of this town
Bridge:
I had to learn who I wasn’t to find who I am
With the streets of Windsor screaming get out while you can
Don’t wanna be a mother and wife to a man
Who I’ve known since I was 10
And he’s telling all our friends
You should hear her when she sings
Her little songs on the weekends
Chorus:
Everyone I know is either married or in rehab
I couldn’t say which one is worse
I’ve got too much supply and never enough demand
I’d kill to live it in reverse
If I want in, I gotta get out
If I want in, I gotta get out of this
If I want in, I gotta get out of this town
If I want in, I gotta get out
If I want in, I gotta get out of this
If I want in, I gotta get out of this town
If I want in, I gotta get out
If I want in, I gotta get out of this
If I want in, I gotta get out of this town
I gotta get out of this
