The chairs have been moved, the shutters are gone,
A real estate sign is hammered in the lawn
And as I walk through the empty house, it all feels strange
The tables have folded, they cashed in their chips,
Over there, there's a stain from where the ceiling drips
I guess I shouldn't be surprised it's time to turn the page
Small towns aren't forever in a metropolitan age
I was born in this room, in a double bed,
And I'd fall asleep to stories that my father read
And the stars were on the ceiling—when did that change?
We planted these oaks in the side of the yard
They basked in the sun so they'd gleam in the stars
And this treehouse in the back would turn into a stage
I'd say "one day I'll make it big in this metropolitan age"
I don't really feel as sad as I thought I would
When you said it's time to go, I understood
A little relieved we left when things were still good
We did all we should
And now I'm pacing a floor that seems impossibly loud
But looking 'round the house, I only feel proud
Of everything we'd done before we outgrew the place
We could've pretended that nothing was wrong
But that only would've kept us alive for so long
Cuz sooner or later, we would've been living in a cage
So let's pack our things and drive to the metropolitan age
It couldn't hurt to try the metropolitan age
