lyrics

You were a grad, I was a freshman
Doing whatever I could to get your attention
First you were my mentor, then we were best friends

Two years’ difference didn’t seem like much
I looked up to you, I knew I couldn’t touch
Your kindness, your talent, your ambition

But this is your life now
You live where you were born
Wear the hat your father’s always worn
In this old town

With dead-end jobs and endless Mondays
Hazy gods and lazy Sundays
I never thought I’d lose you this way one day

I thought I’d lose you underground
Hesitant to make a sound
Dragged down, just for sticking around

I thought I’d find you in the snow
Buried six feet deep below
Old boyfriends, girlfriends, cafes closed so long ago

Amelia
Amelia
Amelia, don’t come home

You took one, then two, then three years off
And I knew time and I, we’d never be enough
To reroute your misdirections
Pause your ceaseless introspections

But this is your life now
You live where you were born
Never take the acting world by storm
Working retail at home

With dead-end jobs and endless Mondays
Hazy gods and lazy Sundays
I never thought I’d lose you this way one day

I thought I’d lose you underground
Hesitant to make a sound
Dragged down, just for sticking around

I thought I’d find you in the snow
Buried six feet deep below
Old boyfriends, girlfriends, cafes closed so long ago

And if your cold lungs do fill with water
Seek the sun, you’ll find her daughters
In brighter places than you’ve ever known

Amelia, don’t come home

Amelia, don’t come home
Don’t come home, don't come home
Amelia - Amelia, don’t come home

Amelia
Amelia, don't come home
