I was born in Syracuse
Eight days after new years eve
A baby boy with eyes of blue
My Daddy said he waiting on me
He had three daughters, now a son
They named me Andrew but I use to be William
Well Daddy got a job in Utica
Said we'd stay for a couple of years
The store closed and we all thought
That'd be the end of living here
But it proofed harder,for us to go
put up the house but it never sold
Well I could be heard
Yelling the words
I hate it here
So I found a way
Had to escape
I disappeared
But after all of the places and all of the things I've been shown
Nothing replaces the feeling of coming home
I just wanna be known
I just wanna be known
Now i keep my distance
I wont lie
I've been in search of a
better life
Wondering where it' d take me
wondering if it'd break my heart
But i know a city
That loves me back
With open doors
When I'm under attack
Knowin when its time
to head on back to the start
But after all of the places and all of the things I've been shown
Nothing replaces the feeling of coming home
I just wanna be known
I just wanna be known
Well I could be heard
Yelling the words
I hate it here
So I found a way
Had to escape
I disappeared
