Dirty Old Town Lyrics

Dirty old town, dirty old town
They've got all your little secrets clearly written down
You don't even know, and you can't even see
The butterfly that you're going to be
Oh, the butterfly that we are becoming

And all the roads, and all the miles
Hair goes grey, eyes stay wide
Come to bed, turn out the lights
Fall asleep inside
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one

Hearts grow into hearts until hearts become one
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
I carry your heart in my heart
Sung with every song

Singing you're the one
Oh, you're the one

Poised with grace in this poisoned place
How you ever manage to keep it off your face
You don't even know, and you can't even see
The butterfly that you're going to be
Oh, the butterfly that we are becoming

Dirty old town, dirty old town
They've got all your little secrets clearly written down
You don't even know, and you can't even see
The butterfly that you're going to be
Oh, the butterfly that we are becoming

'Cause you're the one
You're the one
You're the one
Hearts grow into hearts until hearts become one
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
I carry your heart in my heart
Sung with every song

Singing you're the one
Oh, you're the one
