New Girl (In Town)

about

I wrote this about moving back to Janesville!

lyrics

I set out and headed north.
I knew what I was doing this time, of course.
I followed my heart, for what that's worth.
Don't know if this heart's a blessing or a curse.
I rolled in to little fanfare.
I know that doesn't mean that you don't care.

I won't have to introduce myself. I won't have to act like I'm someone else.

I'm home for good. I'm not leaving.
Is it really moving on if I'm moving back in?
I'm here to stay for what I believe in.
Let em say I gave up, Let em say I packed it in, but
I will never be the new girl in town again.

You can say I did it for love, I did it to find some truth.
But in the end, I'm doing this for me, there's nothing else left to do.
I didn't run away, but I sprinted back.
Now that I'm here, I'll get my life on track.

I don't have to introduce myself. I don't have to act like I'm someone else.

I'm home for good. I'm not leaving.
Is it really moving on if I'm moving back in?
I'm here to stay for what I believe in.
Let em say I gave up, let em say I packed it in, but
I will never be the new girl in town again.

I'm tired of introducing myself in a world where I have to be someone else.

Now I can move on, cuz I'm moving back in.
I'm here to stay for what I believe in.
Let em say I gave up. Let em say I packed it in, but
I will never be the new girl in town again.

"Alternative and folky, Candace Griffin's music comes straight from the heart. As a songwriter, she takes inspiration from the life around her, and with honest words and acoustic-driven emotions, she puts her listeners right in the moment. You'll think the songs were written just for you." (Bio by Caitlin Wildhagen) ... more
