I might've said this to a few
That there's a place in this world that's sacred
Only the good bits stay
It is no Disneyland
But an overcrowded modern city
That carries all my childhood memories
So, whenever I feel lost and scared
I'd pack my bags and show up
8:50 at the airport oh-oh
Afternoon picnics
I ate like nobody was watching
And in my white dress
I ran around and danced around oh-oh
And there, I am still that little girl, carefree
That's how you made me feel
I wanna take you to my hometown baby
Where I learned to ride my first bike
Stayed up my first midnight
Or how my parents used to be
A smell, a place or a song
Time capsules
Buried in my heart rent-free
So, when I need reminding of how life can be
I'd pack my bags and show up
8:50 at the airport oh-oh
Afternoon picnics
I ate like nobody was watching
And in my white dress
I ran around and danced around oh-oh
And there, I am still that little girl, carefree
That's how you made me feel
I wanna take you to my hometown baby
All of me out in the open
The salad days and 4ams oh-oh
Would you stay
'Cause you are the good bits in my life
You made me feel like my hometown
Afternoon picnics
I ate like nobody was watching
And in my white dress
I ran around and danced around oh-oh
And there, I am still that little girl, carefree
That's how you made me feel
I wanna take you to my hometown baby
