lyrics

I was born on a hillside, long enough ago
Decided to move away, thought I needed to grow
Thought the place was holding me back, making me old
Needed somewhere I could go where I though the streets were paved with gold

Thought I had to be the kind of person I wanted to see
When I looked at my reflection

So I moved to city, said goodbye to my folks
Got a little place to live, ended up flat broke
Got my heart broke a couple of times and lost some friends
But all in all I thought I'd done ok, in the end

But still I couldn't see the person I wanted to be
When I looked at my reflection

Stumbled all around this place I called my hometwon
Tried to make some sense of it all and not fall down
Held on to the things that mattered and that was enough
Got to realising maybe things weren't so tough

Finally started to see that the person I wanted to be
Wasn't in my reflection

Now I'm living on another hillside and enjoying my life
Got a home and a family, got a beautiful wife
Realise that my hometown wasn't a curse
And that living is easier than trying to rehearse

And trying to hide behind the idea in my mind
Of what I saw in my reflection
