Story Behind The Song
When I came back to my hometown I had a bit of notoriety and I felt lost and confused by it. I would see billboards with my face on them and feel like I had no where to hide. I felt as though no one really knew me anymore.
Song Description
This is a song about feeling lost in a place you're comfortable in. Coming back to a city that you've grown up in and being recognized by people you don't know. Feelings of frustration thinking that people know you but they don't.

Lyrics
Billboards scattered in a town I used to know. Almost flattered now that I have no where to go.
Pity all the publicity. Pity it all for you and me. Why do I have to see your face on every magazine.
Chorus: Isn't it funny how the train keeps going. And I stand in one spot and keep shouting here I am.
Standing in the lime light, don't know what your name is. Why does everything good have to turn out like this. Pity all the publicity. Pity it all for you and me. Why do I have to see your face on every magazine?
Chorus: Isn't it funny how the train keeps going. And I stand in one spot and keep shouting here I am.
