Halfway Around the World
Skirmish: Trauma (@s7even)
Liner Notes
#acousticonetake Hometown trauma. I borrowed some of the style of a classic song of nostalgia to subvert it by giving the opposite message.
Lyrics
I guess I can’t come back to see you I picked another hometown To work through all that you did to me And all the ways you put me down
Halfway around the world That’s not too far away Halfway around the world That’s where I want to stay
You said I couldn’t do the things I do Couldn’t write a book couldn’t write a song But these are things you never tried to do And so you couldn’t be more wrong
Halfway around the world That’s not too far away Halfway around the world That’s where I want to stay
You had a strange view of what matters Maybe it was just your pride You said that people did not matter As if we could not decide
Halfway around the world That’s not too far away Halfway around the world That’s where I want to stay
Halfway around the world That’s not too far away Halfway around the world That’s where I want to stay

I especially like the chorus! It is really hooky..
