  • i was born 3000 miles from where I came alive and i left without saying a word to start a new life
    but sometimes, in some random bar, it'll cut through the noise
    like a breeze, in the summer heat like an old friend's voice,
    a boston accent
    well, my brother he got kicked out of school yeah, my mom threw him out,
    and my sister, she lives three streets over and two houses down
    and my father is buried in town
    by his father's side,
    and me, i spent my whole damn life just trying to hide a boston accent
    moving through the crowd on that first night,

    lit like angels
    by the Citgo sign,
    we walked across the bridge just to kill some more time before you had to go home
    now you live in a pretty nice house
    out on paul revere road,
    and you married some kid from our class who i didn't know
    and i saw you at christmas mass
    and you still looked the same,
    i could almost
    feel your hands in my hair
    and you whisper my name,
    in a boston accent,
    we're moving through the crowd on that first night,
    lit like angels by the citgo sign, we walked across the bridge just to kill some more time before you had to go home
    now there are doors you can't open
    and some you can't close
    and my sister, she's getting married in june but i don't think i'll go
    and sometimes in some random bar it'll cut through the noise,
    like a breeze in the summer heat, like an old friend's voice,
    and you can change every inch of your life but your still just a boy
