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
