Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pulled off the highway
Rust on the sign
Name of this town
Half-gone
Half-aligned
Corner store's condos
Glass in the air
But the same old stray dog still sleeps by the stairs
[Pre-Chorus]
Every brick’s got a story I tried to forget
Now it hits like a sucker punch to the chest
[Chorus]
Back where the cracks still show
Even if the face got painted over
All of the kids I know
Either disappeared or just got older
I swore I'd never come home
Guess I was wrong
Yeah
Guess I was wrong
Back where the cracks still show
This broken place still feels like my song (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Skate spot’s a café with plants in the glass
But the scratch in the curb still remembers my back
Graffiti’s been scrubbed
But the ghost of my name
Bleeds through the beige like it’s laughing at change
[Pre-Chorus]
Every door that I slammed
Every deal that I broke
Comes back in the dust and the cold in my throat
[Chorus]
Back where the cracks still show
Even if the face got painted over
All of the kids I know
Either disappeared or just got bolder
I swore I'd never come home
Guess I was wrong
Yeah
Guess I was wrong
Back where the cracks still show
This broken place still feels like my song (woah)
[Bridge]
Mom's old porch light
Now it's leaning on wires
Same crooked mailbox
Same busted tires
But the room that I raged in is nursery blue
And somehow that hurts more than losing my youth
[Chorus]
Back where the cracks still show
Even if the face got painted over
All of the kids I know
Live in my head like haunted posters
I swore I'd never come home
Guess I was lying all along
Back where the cracks still show
This broken place still feels like my song (my song, my song)
