Every curb knows my name
_____
I sat here when I was four
_____
My haircut was a soccer mop
_____
Jump off the train into my turf
_____
When I close my eyes
_____
I sit beside her
_____
And I love this station
_____
Watch a few pigeons steal pizza scraps
_____
I'm back again, hometown
_____
So long ago and still so near
_____
And in every corner a teenage dream still hangs
_____
Both fists full of dreams
_____
That I dreamed as a little punk
_____
Pick up the guitar
_____
I missed you so much
_____
Every night and every day
_____
I walk the way home like in my sleep
_____
And I smell our street
_____
Because the clubs are still smoky
_____
These nights are sacred, the sound is dirty
_____
I'm back again, hometown
_____
So long ago and still so near
_____
And in every corner a teenage dream still hangs
_____
Right before the end there's a house
_____
There's a light on at the kitchen table
_____
I wrote just for you
_____
Time races on, so much goes by
_____
But here it says: Welcome
_____
On our old garden fence
_____
Where I finally see you again
_____
Finally hold you tight in my arms
_____
I'm back again, hometown
_____
So long ago and still so near
_____
And in every corner a teenage dream still hangs
_____
I'm back again, hometown
_____
So long ago and still so near
_____
And in every corner a teenage dream still hangs
