someone's telling me to stay
the times we've had have not been bad
home again, it seems so soon
nothing's changed, but it's not the same
people dancing all around
just relax, just the facts
soon i'll go where i belong
don't be mad, it's just a song

there's a reason everything is boarded up
there's a reason why tim horton's never shuts

only one reason why we'd ever go downtown
but oh, there's a reason we left

follow hometown pride to here
it's time you know, for a show
they think there's a phoenix here
from the past, in the ash

there's a reason everything is boarded up
there's a reason why tim horton's never shuts
only one reason why we'd ever go downtown
but oh, there's a reason we left
