Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pulled off at the rusted exit
Same diner sign
One letter dim
That old grain silo leans a little further
But the river still runs like it did
The school’s a parking lot and condos
They paved the field we snuck onto
But I swear I hear our names out in the distance
When the wind cuts straight on through
[Chorus]
It’s strange and it’s the same
Every street still knows my name
But the faces blur like houses in the rain
I walk these broken blocks
Past the bar
The church
The clock
Back where the roads remember me by name
[Verse 2]
Your mama’s porch has brand‑new railings
Her wind chimes sing a different tune
Your old blue bike is gone from out the driveway
But the oil stain’s still there
Shaped like June
Main Street’s got a craft beer basement
Where the video store once stood
I stand there holding ghosts beside the window
Where the horror aisle used to be good
[Chorus]
It’s strange and it’s the same
Every street still knows my name
But the faces blur like houses in the rain
I walk these broken blocks
Past the bar
The church
The clock
Back where the roads remember me by name
[Bridge]
I thought time would draw a clean line
Between that kid and who I am
But the mirror in my old room
Still flickers with the same old plans (oh oh)
[Chorus]
It’s strange and it’s the same
Every street still knows my name
Though the years pile up like leaves nobody rakes
I trace these crooked walks
Past the bar
The church
The clock
Back where the roads remember me
Back where the roads remember me by name
