Cover art for Orphans lyrics by Gaslight Anthem, The

To me it felt like he was talking about leaving his old town because he just couldn't stand it. Lots of people get like that sure it's your roots but sometimes to thrive you need to move on. I have a deep connection with this song. being stuck where I am I'm sick of bumping into old flames and people I knew. A change of scenery and a fresh start are a must and from that song I felt that way! Btw still love all gaslights albums it all has wondrous meaning and to me like a good book I start to relate and ponder life events. :-p
