Lititz

Intro

(ah-ah) Lititz, Lititz

(ooo, ooo)

Verse

Walk past the bakery, the morning rolls warm in my hands

Julius' windows, flour on the glass like a promise

Kids on the corner trade old secrets for new plans

Main Street hums, the clock counts out an easy chorus

Wooden bench, park pond, geese cut the light in two

A bell in the steeple says it's time to begin

There's a candy-sweet smell where the old factory grew

And every storefront keeps a story folded in

Pre-chorus

Slow down, take it in (take it in), the way the town breathes

Every small thing swells into something that you keep

Chorus

Lititz, Lititz, calling like a name I know (I know)

Lititz, Lititz, pull me back where the porch-lights glow (oh-oh)

Lititz, Lititz, sing it soft, then sing it loud (sing it loud)

Lititz, Lititz, I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Verse

Saturday mornings, coffee steam and local news

A girl with paint on her jacket sells postcards by the square

Under the maple, elders trade the same old views

And someone plays a harmonica; the tune hangs in the air

Fireworks over the creek when summer bends toward heat

Sneakers squeak, kids race past the bakery sign

Old dogs nap in windows, dreams hum with steady beat

And the lights in every house blink like heartlines

Pre-chorus

Hold on, remember how (remember how), the small things shine

They stitch a map back to the place that's truly mine

Chorus

Lititz, Lititz, calling like a name I know (I know)

Lititz, Lititz, pull me back where the porch-lights glow (oh-oh)

Lititz, Lititz, sing it soft, then sing it loud (sing it loud)

Lititz, Lititz, I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Bridge

Sometimes the road pulls hard and the skyline pulls me far

But there are strings tied to the corner of this town in my heart

I taste the pretzel salt and the winter's first hot chocolate

No matter where I wander, these streets will find me, watch it

(na-na) Lititz in my bones, Lititz in the songs I keep

If I close my eyes, I'm there — a porch light, the town asleep

Chorus

Lititz, Lititz, calling like a name I know (I know)

Lititz, Lititz, pull me back where the porch-lights glow (oh-oh)

Lititz, Lititz, sing it soft, then sing it loud (sing it loud)

Lititz, Lititz, I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Lititz, Lititz, I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Outro

(ah-ah) Lititz, Lititz
