Every curb knows my name
I sat here when I was four
My haircut was a soccer mop
Jump off the train into my turf
When I close my eyes
And I love this station
Watch a few pigeons steal pizza scraps
I'm back again, hometown
So long ago and still so near
And in every corner a teenage dream still hangs
Both fists full of dreams
That I dreamed as a little punk
Find somebody you love
Pick up the guitar
I missed you so much
Every night and every day
I walk the way home like in my sleep
And I smell our street
Because the clubs are still smoky
These nights are sacred, the sound is dirty
I'm back again, hometown
So long ago and still so near
And in every corner a teenage dream still hangs
Right before the end there's a house
There's a light on at the kitchen table
Every song I wrote
Time races on, so much goes by
But here it says: Welcome
On our old garden fence
Where I finally see you again
Finally hold you tight in my arms
I'm back again, hometown
So long ago and still so near
And in every corner a teenage dream still hangs
I'm back again, hometown
So long ago and still so near
And in every corner a teenage dream still hangs
