lyrics

As soon as the plane landed I knew there was nothing for me here
I made my way to the center I tried to get a better first impression
The streets felt lonely, that wind slapping me, my whole body cried and turned to leave
I found my new home and unlocked the door, dropped my bags not sure what I was in for

In Nova Scotia there was no hope
I got off the shuttle and already could tell
Nothing to see even though I tried
To give it a chance so I’m just passing by

In Nova Scotia there was no hope
I got off the shuttle and already could tell
Nothing to see even though I tried
To give it a chance so I’m just passing by

I spend the next two weeks walking around, I try my best but I can’t find out
What I’m looking for is a sign, I need a reason to hang around
I’m all over town from North to South, I walk the streets and explore the parks
I visit the museums, pickup a Donair, worst decision I’ve ever made

In Nova Scotia there was no hope
I got off the shuttle and already could tell
Nothing to see even though I tried
To give it a chance so I’ll be passing by

I crossed the town in a blizzard, no one told me it was coming down
Got to the train station for my ticket out, soaking wet and ready to die
My legs burnt coz my pants were freezing, took off everything and jumped in a bath

In Nova Scotia there was no hope
I got off the shuttle and already could tell
Nothing to see even though I tried
To give it a chance so I’m just passing by

Don’t bring me back, to Halifax, the Narrows, the Town Clock, Argyle Street at night
Please don’t bring me back, to Halifax, Purdy’s Wharf, McNabs and George and all that
Don’t bring me back to Halifax, two weeks of my life I’m never getting back

In Nova Scotia there was no hope
I got off the shuttle and already could tell
Nothing to see even though I tried
To give it a chance so I’m just passing by

Don’t bring me back, don’t bring me back, don’t bring me back to Halifax
Don’t bring me back, don’t bring me back, don’t bring me back to Halifax

In Nova Scotia there was no hope
I got off the shuttle and already could tell
Nothing to see even though I tried
To give it a chance but I’m leaving right now
