[Verse 1]

He used to feel good

He used to feel like home

Those NY fences never made me feel fenced in

With nowhere to go

I thought leaving you

Would give me space

But this ain't the kind of town where you can hide your face

There ain't enough air left to breathe with the way everyone is talkin', talkin'

[Chorus]

Talkin' 'bout us like we're front page news

With half a story and with half the truth

Askin' how it fall apart or how I could break your heart

It don't even matter where I go

Down Main Street or an old back road

I'm either runnin' into you, your friends, or your memory

Yeah somehow this small town just got a whole lot smaller

[Verse 2]

There'll be one less truck

There'll be one less girl

There'll be one less reminder of us

Here in your world

If I keep on driving

And don't come back this time

Yeah they can take one number

Off the population sign, and

Quit talkin'

[Chorus]

Talkin' 'bout us like we're front page news

With half a story and with half the truth

Askin' how it fall apart or how I could break your heart

It don't even matter where I go

Down Main Street or an old back road

I'm either runnin' into you, your friends, or your memory

Yeah somehow this small town just got a whole lot smaller

[Bridge]

There ain't enough air left to breathe with the way they're talkin'

[Chorus]

Talkin' 'bout us like we're front page news

With half a story and with half the truth

Askin' how it fall apart or how I could break your heart

It don't even matter where I go

Down Main Street or an old back road

I'm either runnin' into you, your friends, or your memory

Yeah somehow this small town just got a whole lot smaller
