I'm just a small town kid
With a star in my eyes
Got my head in the clouds
But I'm afraid of heights
So I don't know why I aim so high
I don't know why I aim so high
I walk these streets
With my eyes on the sky
And the city tells me
I need to make up my mind
This girl I leave behind
Every time it feels so right
These city lights
They seem so gray
When I compare them to your face
It takes my breath away
I think I might stay
My hometown heroine
Open your eyes
It isn't hard to see the way
You pull me in
My brand new baby girl
Got the best of me again
I want to be cute
I want to be suave
And say the things
That make you demand
I be your man
I swear I can
I swear it
I'll write a happy song
Mean every word
Don't doubt the things you've heard
It's true I want you
It's true I want you
These city lights
They seem so gray
When I compare them to your face
It takes my breath away
I think I might stay
My hometown heroine
Open your eyes
It isn't hard to see the way
You pull me in
My brand new baby girl
Got the best of me again
I haven't wanted this for a long time
Stay safe in the back of my mind
And then your hand's in mine
And I think it's time
To do more than kill some time
I'll let you in, tear me apart
With only a razor
That's shaped like a heart
I swear I'm addicted
To tasting your tongue
And when I am dreaming
You know what it's of
My hometown heroine
Open your eyes
It isn't hard to see the way
You pull me in
My brand new baby girl
Got the best of me again (x2)
I haven't wanted this for a long time
Stay safe in the back of my mind
And then your hand's in mine
And I think it's time
To do more than kill some time
