John - thank you for pointing that out, hadn't looked at it that way! What if I kept the first two lines and then wrote the second two about feeling free and happy like back then? So it gives more reason to why they're all running away. I can't really think how else to add to the story. I do feel like I want it to have a hint of nostalgia (sorta Tom Petty style, ya know?), but obviously not too much, as you said.

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

17 year old country singer/songwriter from the Deep South... of England. I love most everything.
