  • How does it feel when someone stripped you bare
    How does it feel when there's light shining on your every intention
    'Cause
    People laugh at you for trying to change the world

    It's just small town, small dreams
    The same old faces still they haunt me
    And I'm just trying to find a way to block it out,
    I'm just trying to find a way to block them out
    'Cause I'm tired of looking down
    Mmmmmm tired of them looking down mmmmmm

    And how does it feel when someone lets you down
    You've got a head full of thorns
    When you should really be wearing a crown
    But at least a crowded room will never seem empty
    With a conscience always siding against me

    Small town laid to rest
    (Don't hurt me with your)
    King and lines and cigarettes
    (And I want more than just your)
    Teenage thrills and brainless sex
    Tell me just how good it feels to be rebellious
    'Cause you got me feeling down
    Said its got me feeling down

    And how do you feel when someone lets you down
    A head full of thorns you should be wearing a crown
    And how do you feel when someone strips you bare
    People laugh at you, people laugh at you
    And how do you feel about these memories
    My conscience is close, she's my worst enemy
    And she wants to know where I'm going, she wants to know where I'm going
    Yeeeaaaahh

    Ooooooohhhhh
    (Small town, small town
    Small town, small town)

    Small town laid to rest
    Small town laid to rest

    The same old faces still they haunt me
    I'm just trying to find a way to shut them out
    'Cause I'm tired of them looking Writer/s: Laura Doggett, Matthew Johnson
