A song about growing up in a small town and the urge to leave it.

lyrics

It's always summer here, it's 50 in the shade.
Trapped in a microwave, standing on a hotplate.
And on a clear day, I watch the heat haze ride of everything.
I can hear my heart sing.
"I was born in an endless heatwave, I wanna go somewhere cold"
And I think.

A life spent travelling is a life spent well.
I'll see you all when I come home.
I'll pack my bags and leave to anywhere I'd rather be.
We should catch up when I come home.

Their born and die here, spending every day trapped in the old ways
Searching for a pay day.
You'll be your dads son, when all's said and done 2 kids and a trapped wife.
Living in a beige life.
And through the heat haze, they're spending every day watching hair turning grey.
Fading into old age.
But on the right night, under the right light. I can see everything.

I can hear my heart sing.
"I was born in an endless heatwave, I wanna go somewhere cold"
And I think.

A life spent travelling is a life spent well.
I'll see you all when I come home.
I'll pack my bags and leave to anywhere I'd rather be.
We should catch up when I come home.

Family, occupation and avocation keep me stuck around.
But I can feel the heat.
As it pools under my feet.
With reasons old and sweet, and tries to melt me to the ground.
