"A Different City" as written by and Brock/judy/green....
I want to live in the city with no friends or family
I'm gonna look out the window of my color TV
I will remember to remember to forget you
Forgot me
I'm gonna look out the window of my color TV
Through the cracks in the wall
Slow motion for all
Dripped out of the bar
Someone smart said nothing at all
I'm watching TV
I guess that's a solution
They gave me a receipt that said I didn't buy nothing
So rust is a fire
And our blood oxidizes
My eyes roll around all around on the carpet
Oh hit the deck
It's the decal man
standing upside down and talking out of his pants
Through the cracks in the wall
Slow motion for all
Left holding the ball and a part for your car
I'm gonna look out the window of my color TV
I will remember to remember to forget you
Forgot me
I'm gonna look out the window of my color TV
Through the cracks in the wall
Slow motion for all
Dripped out of the bar
Someone smart said nothing at all
I'm watching TV
I guess that's a solution
They gave me a receipt that said I didn't buy nothing
So rust is a fire
And our blood oxidizes
My eyes roll around all around on the carpet
Oh hit the deck
It's the decal man
standing upside down and talking out of his pants
Through the cracks in the wall
Slow motion for all
Left holding the ball and a part for your car

it was just something brock made up so he could do a side project on the same label.
im smart
you'll never die and you'll never grow old is in mary janes last dance but its a little different in the tom petty song its "i don't know but ive been told, you'll never slow down, and youll never grow old"
maybe isaac is a tom petty fan, or maybe just a mary jane fan
Too bad the labels didnt fall for this as much as the fans did.
I never thought about it as a guy going away to college, but it does make sense. The song is obviously about boredom, disillusionment, and loneliness regardless of the setting. Great music and lyrics.
