LYRICS:
Do you wanna trade places?
Do you wanna see how I live?
I’ll try to be elated
I’ll try to find something to give
I’m seeing friendly faces
My once a week friends
Buying townhomes in heaven
On a ten-percent payment plan

But now I’m laughing
Lying down
No good with plans or clues
A cheap date
A cherry valentine I picked for you
That I picked for you

I’ll burn down the bridges
That connect me to where I’m from
I’ll tear out all my stitches
Because I’m hoping that you’ll drink my blood
You always were a monster
You’re barking up every tree
Ten rounds with a boxer
Who looks like a copy of me

But now I’m laughing
Lying down
No good with plans or clues
A cheap date
A cherry valentine I picked for you
Vampires crying out
No good for me or you
A cheap date
A cherry valentine I picked for you
That I pick for you

BEHIND THE LYRICS:
"Musically, 'Hometown Vampire' is an attempt to distill Elvis Costello, Phoenix, and a hundred great Athens bands into an angular pop thrill. This is where we started really thinking about 'vampires,' here meaning anyone who never wants to grow or change or progress, opting instead to rest in negative stasis. Drew helped me tease out the hometown element, taking the inspiration of Hometown Week on The Bachelor to explore how you can’t always run away from the negative figures in your past." - Elijah Johnston
