Andy Nelson - The Last Autumn I Spent In Normal lyrics

The last autumn I spent in my hometown I was incredibly alive We said goodbye to summer And I fell in love for the last time So I drew out my limitations to find the reasons I was leaving This town just wasn't big enough for the both of us My apathy and I just couldn't take it Or maybe I just gave a sh** and had to embrace it So now I keep wondering what I'm missing out on The bonfires and late night drives Our hoodies carried us to winter As we refused to stay inside Wondering what I'm missing out on The bonfires and late night drives Our hoodies carried us to winter As we refused to stay inside So I made my way to Chicago to live beneath the city lights But I kept thinking of starry nights in Normal And that diner before sunrise My lust for progress was waning like leaves in their decline Surrendering themselves to their inevitable demise I didn't know it at the time but I loved it It didn't take me very long to know that I missed it And now I keep wondering what I'm missing out on The bonfires and late night drives Our hoodies carried us to winter As we refused to stay inside Wondering what I'm missing out on The bonfires and late night drives Our hoodies carried us to winter As we refused to stay inside When the lights go off, and the band dissolves And the empty rooms and barstools Only come to life through a clear mind's eye May you never lose your sight In the corner of your room In the back of your mind In the town where you grew up Our memories will stay alive In the corner of your room In the back of your mind In the town where you grew up Our memories will stay alive In the corner of your room In the back of your mind
