“New Town, New Name” lyrics

Maybe I'm better somewhere else

Same job, same boss, same cracked phone
Same guy texting "you up," alone
Same mirror, same fight, same me
Same view of the same old street
Everybody's getting married
Everybody's got a plan
I'm still paying off a couch
That I never liked, you understand

Is it me or is it here
Is it me or is it here
Every road is going somewhere
Every road but mine

Maybe I'm better somewhere else
Somewhere nobody knows myself
New town, new name, new shelf

Maybe I'm better somewhere else

Somewhere else
Mm, somewhere else

Looked at flights to Portugal on my lunch break
Looked at cabins in Montana, what's it take
Could I be a baker, could I be a nurse
Could I learn to paint, would it make it worse
Maybe it's the city, maybe it's the air
Maybe it's the girl who keeps on standing there
Maybe I'm the problem, maybe I'm the key
Maybe it's just me

Is it me or is it here
Is it me or is it here
Every road is going somewhere
Every road but mine

Maybe I'm better somewhere else
Maybe I'm better somewhere else

Maybe I'm better somewhere else
Maybe I'm better somewhere else

Somewhere else

Maybe I'm better somewhere else

Maybe I'm better somewhere else
Somewhere nobody knows myself
New town, new name, new shelf

Maybe I'm better somewhere else

Could I be a baker, could I be a nurse

Pack a bag, then unpack it
Book a seat, then cancel it
Tell my mama, "I'm leaving"
Then call her back and say
"Just kidding, I'm staying"
One more day

Maybe I'm better somewhere else
Somewhere nobody knows myself
New town, new name, new shelf

Maybe I'm better somewhere else

Somewhere else
Mm, somewhere else

Somewhere else
