Some take the train
all the way to LA
Some never get
off the tracks
I'd never thought
I'd live to see the day
I'd say goodbye Carlsbad
That was the roof where I
smoked my first cigarette
praying I wouldn't get caught
I'm still the ghost
of that teenage silhouette
Growing up's not
what I thought
Even long after I'm gone
This town
those streets
hold a piece of me there
Love-drunk
sixteen
Oh I promise
wherever I carry your
heart with me
I'll never be far
never be far
Hold on
for now
It's not forever
I swear I'll make
you proud
Oh I promise
wherever I carry your
heart with me
I'll never be far
never be far from home
Senior year saying
goodbye to Sage Creek
Felt my heart break
in those halls
I asked out a girl
and they laughed at me
I swear nobody talks
like those walls
First time I realized
I wasn't invincible
Broke a bone
tryna show off
Names on the cast
prove I wasn't invisible
First taste of fame
that I got
Even long after I'm gone
This town
those streets
hold a piece of me there
Love-drunk
sixteen
Oh I promise
wherever I carry your
heart with me
I'll never be far
never be far
Hold on
for now
It's not forever
I swear I'll make
you proud
Oh I promise
wherever I carry your
heart with me
I'll never be far
never be far from
home
Woahh
Oh oh
Woahh
Wherever I carry your
heart with me
I'll never be far
Never be far from the
place that raised me
Ones who change me
I would not be
who I am without
This town
those streets
hold a piece of me there
Love-drunk
sixteen
Oh I promise wherever
I carry your
heart with me
I'll never be far
I'll never be far
Hold on
for now
It's not forever
I swear I'll make
you proud
Oh I promise
wherever I carry your
heart with me
I'll never be far
never be far from home
