Theme: Locations

(Fun fact about this song: G.T. originally wrote it for her very first band, "Team November" under the title, "Since You Left Town." It was written about an area of Seattle she lived in, called Ballard. When the opportunity arose to write songs for a JG Ballard tribute night, this song surfaced, and much like the "loading-dock doorways" of which she sings, the song itself has experienced a Ballardian purpose-shift.)

lyrics

The city's downtown district is buzzing, just like it was in Ballard town. The morning routine. The drive up to work now. The business that slowly starts to drown.

Since you left town, everything's the same.
Since you left town.

You're missing out on the industry blow-up. The cafés are filling "warehouse row." And I've discovered a new way to drive home, it reminds me of Ballard. Oh, where'd you go?

Since you left town, everything's the same.
Since you left town.

Oh since you left, since you left town.

I must admit, I tried and tried to tell myself this wasn't about you. But for the books, I cried and cried the moment I tried to forget you.

I sometimes see you when I'm watching a renew of some kind of godforsaken place. The shifting purpose of loading-dock doorways, and you've disappeared without a trace.


Since you left town, everything's the same.
Since you left town.

Oh since you left, since you left town.
