I wanted to be / More than a small town no one / Spread my wings and thrive.
File The Ubyssey
I was ready to
Leave the streets I'd grown up on,
Everything I'd known
I wanted to be
More than a small town no one
Spread my wings and thrive
I thought that I was
Ready, prepared for this.
Miscalculation
‘Cause I miss my mom
Nights watching HGTV
Her cooking, her hugs
My sister always
Was talking too loud but now,
My place is quiet
No soft fur kisses
No pitter-patter of paws
Nothing is the same
Even the weather
Windy floods instead of snow
I miss everything
My soul has been hurt
From the moment I came here
Will it be worth it?
To miss inside jokes?
Fleeting time with my grandma?
Family movie nights?
I think it must be
I'm chasing my wildest dreams
I'll make it worth it
So yes, leaving hurts
A dagger to my heart but,
Staying would hurt too
