Filipino singer-songwriter Clara Benin drops a song about leaving the past behind and embracing the newness that comes with it. In her new single “small town,” the Parallel Universe artist continues acknowledging that the world is changing and that unlearning people and places could be an enriching...
[Verse 1]
I made a mental list of the probabilities
Oh, what are the chances of you running into me?
'Cause this is such a small town
I know all your favorite places
I know where you are now, so I'll go the other way
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to unlearn you
Feels like I know you too well
[Chorus]
It's impossible to go around without looking down
I don't miss you, but I really do miss being myself again
Being myself again
[Verse 2]
Took me a couple weeks to delete you from my phone
Yeah, it's another weekend, and I'd rather be alone
Yeah, I can't help but blame this small town
I'm crying in the parking lot
While you're out to buy a latte
At our go-to coffee shop, oh
It still hurts to see your face
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to unlearn you
Feels like I know you too well
[Chorus]
It's impossible to go around without looking down
I don't miss you, but I really do miss being myself again
Being myself again
[Bridge]
This is such a small town
(I know where you are, I know where you are)
I know where you are now (I know where you are, I know where you are)
And it still hurts to see your face (I know where you are, I know where you are)
I guess I'll go the other way (I know where you are, I know where you are)
[Chorus]
It's impossible to go around without looking down
I don't miss you, but I really do miss being myself again
Someone call a physician 'cause I'm thinking of leaving this town
I don't miss you, but my feet are super-glued to the ground
And I really do miss being myself
[Outro]
I need to unlearn you
It feels like I know you too well
