This song seems to be about the contradiction between two places. The place where he is on his way to going, and the hometown that has his heart (the city that he knows so well and loves). But, it might not be the best place for him. Its always hard to let go of something that's familiar.

He says "its already taken everything". It may not be the best place for him to be, but for some reason he loves it. Although, it seems hes on his way to bigger and better things somewhere else.

I am also very attachment to my hometown and felt a connection the first time I heard this song. This is one of the few songs I liked the FIRST time I heard it. Beautiful!
