Crop Circle

Even if you were to come back
It could never be the same as
Even if you were to come back
I would have to turn away

You got spooked, you got scared
Moved to the city but I didn't know where
You never could stand that small town talk
The storefront windows that you thought were watching
You left
It wasn't right
Goodbye ma, hey downtown lights
Now look at the sun melting your wings
New York City doesn't owe you anything

But I still love you
So what did you run from
Beneath our feet

We grew up in a crop circle
That's why you ran away
We grew up in a crop circle
Where everybody knows your name
But when I lay in the flattened grass and look up at the stars
I still wonder about how alone we are

You got spooked, you got scared
Left me home with not even a prayer
'Til I looked up and I saw where you were
In the 43 homes stacked on top of each other
The small talk stopped
The crowds had begun
A city full of people but you didn't know anyone
Look what you lost now
Look what you won
So many people but you don't know anyone

But I still love you
Tell me what did you run from
Beneath our feet

We grew up in a crop circle
That's why you ran away
We grew up in a crop circle
Where everybody knows your name
You know we grew up in a crop circle
I think that's why you ran away
We grew up in a crop circle
Where everybody knows your name

Even if you were to come back
It could never be the same as
Even if you were to come back
I would have to turn away
Even if you were to come back
It could never be the same as
Even if you were to come back
I would have to turn away
Even if you were to come back
It could never be the same as
Even if you were to come back
I would have to turn away
Even if you were to come back
It could never be the same as
Even if you were to come back
I would have to turn away

We grew up in a crop circle
That's why you ran away
We grew up in a crop circle
Where everybody knows your name
But when I lay in the flattened grass and look up at the stars
I still wonder about how alone we are
