lyrics

I used to almost be someone in this town
(I used to be someone)

Walkin’ ‘round these streets, feels foreign to my feet
Coz the ground doesn’t crack the same
And they paved over our names
That we etched into concrete
The summer we were both lonely
And we found ourselves connected
So we cemented the friendship

And as I pass by your house
A stranger stares back at me
And a new facade
Makes a liar out of my memory

You and I
Used to almost be someone in this town (I used to be someone)
Nothing changed and I’m a never-was now
Used to almost be someone in this town (I could’ve been someone)
Nothing changed and I’m a never-was now.

Head to my old haunts
To try and feel less out of place
But try as they might
They just can’t gentrify this ache

And own at the local
Even the barflies have found someplace to be
So Dave at the tap pours one out
For this town and all its broken dreams

You and I
Used to almost be someone in this town (I used to be someone)
Nothing changed and I’m a never-was now
Used to almost be someone in this town (I could’ve been someone)
Nothing changed and I’m a never-was now.

I used to be someone
I could’ve been a bit wiser, done a little bit more

I feel like a familiar ghost in the walls
Haunting this place I once called home
The streets and avenues remain
But the faces have all changed
I swear I used to belong
Those glory days, have come and gone
Did I peak at 21?
I used to be someone!

You and I
Used to almost be someone in this town (I used to be someone)
Nothing changed and I’m a never-was now
Used to almost be someone in this town (I could’ve been someone)
But nothing’s changed, I’m a never-was
