lyrics

Bend the desk lamp down to block the hated light
Roommate rolls around clock says it’s late at night
Grab a pen
Glows out the window through the leafless trees
Illuminates the bricks on the campus underneath
Where they’re all asleep
Put your head in your hands

And the space between the letters
Well it’s so much more than paper
And I swear I can’t believe you’re on your own
And the letters start to make words
And the words complete this sentence
I swear I can’t believe you’re on your own
In this college town

A lot of years have passed, I’ve only moved a mile
Still cross the campus every once in a while
If it’s on the way
To my apartment

And the space between the letters
Well it’s so much more than pixels
And I swear I can’t believe you’re on your own
And the letters start to make words
And the words complete this sentence
I swear I can’t believe you’re on your own
In this college town

The bus stop bench, the courthouse steps
The pizza place with the emergency slice
The day time bar, the beater car
The short cut across the railroad tracks

This college town
This college town
This college town
