Better Than Knowing Where You Are Lyrics

It seems to be nothing new
To wind up the same as the people who told you
"A town this small will swallow you"
Hold if you've got nothing
Nothing left to lose

Know all the roads all around your town by heart
So you know when it's time to leave
You know when it's time to...

Leaving, right on cue
You'll set your sights on somewhere
Leaving, is better than knowing
Knowing where you
Leaving, right on cue
You'll set your sights on somewhere
Leaving, is better than knowing
Knowing where you are
Knowing where you are
Oh Oh

Easier said
Easier said then done
Even when I've got your back
What would I do?
What should I tell you to
I'd tell you not to hold back
Cause you don't hold back with me
Even when I'm not on your side, I'm on your side, completely

Know all the roads all around your town by heart
So you know when it's time to leave
You know when it's time to...

Leaving, right on cue
You'll set your sights on somewhere
Leaving, is better than knowing
Knowing where you
Leaving, right on cue
You'll set your sights on somewhere
Leaving, is better than knowing
Knowing where you are

Passes in a flash of an instant
Passes in a flash of a
Passes in a flash of an instant
And then you missed it
Passes in a flash of an instant
Passes in a flash of a
Passes in a flash of an instant
And then you missed it

Leaving, right on cue
You'll set your sights on somewhere
Leaving, is better than knowing
Knowing where you
Leaving, right on cue
You'll set your sights on somewhere
Leaving, is better than knowing
Knowing where you, are

Cover art for Better Than Knowing Where You Are lyrics by Spitalfield

I love this song. I didn't really at first, but then it grew on me, and I feel like I can really relate to it now. I live in a small town... and I just want to get away from here. At the same time, though, there's a small feeling of not wanting to leave... 'cause you know everybody here. You're afraid that it's defined you, that you've been sucked in to small town life... and that one day you'll never want to leave. Leaving, is better than knowing where you are.
