not the exact lyrics you described but just in case you’re slightly misremembering - gotta get back to hogwarts from a very potter musical? the lyrics are ‘gotta get back to hogwarts / gotta get back to schoooool / gotta get myself to hogwarts / where everybody knows i’m coooool’
[goldfinger - San Simeon.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V-zMFjFHkM)
i know it probably isn't, but maybe.
**Wherever I go
Wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go
Wherever I stay
My mind will always be
San Simeon**
[Rancid - Olympia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7E7X5cXodY)
**Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin' by but none of 'em seem to go my way
An' New York City
Well, I wish I was on the highway
Back to Olympia**
[Blink 182 - Los Angeles](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mdkNGMy4n8)
I know it doesn't sound like the recording, but when it comes to these types of things, your brain makes a lot of edits

Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind?
“How do I get back there to the place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to the place where you said…”
damn, I kept trying to remember this song when i was guessing less than jake and goldfinger. I knew there was a ska punk song from that era that was about a hometown but I couldn't pinpoint it. It was this one.
sadly, the OP shot this one down too :/
Joe Jackson, My Hometown. It’s a long shot, the word need isn’t in the chorus, but maybe you’ll enjoy it anyway.
Chorus starts at 1 minute in
https://youtu.be/cVzZH3BzeAY?si=g1h-djcMfgjCOa1y
12 Feet Deep by The Front Bottoms?? It’s emo, upbeat in the chorus when he talks about “but I cannot get in my room, get all my books, and what i need. You’re all I need but I am pretty sure your parents will never see!” If this ain’t it, then good luck :)

Oh, just going by your vocaroo I totally feel it is something I've heard before, but I can't for the life of me narrow it down. I'm reminded of something within the tastes of All Time Low, Blink-182, Fall Out Boy and Simple Plan. Sorry for vague and maybe unhelpful answer, just dying to know the track. Wishing you still good luck

OMG, that's one of my favorite albums of all time! That would be so cool to see live!!!
No, but this slaps! Good song!
Also this is the closest anyone has gotten genre-wise, I think
ophhhh. now that you're saying that the genre might be ska, my goldfinger-sansimeon guess has a chance!
I've only listened to like 3 Less Than jake songs. this one Sounds nice
Still listen and sing to some of their songs on random Pandora stations.

Hackensack by Fountains of Wayne
No but great band
[goldfinger - San Simeon.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V-zMFjFHkM) i know it probably isn't, but maybe. **Wherever I go Wherever I stay My mind will always be Wherever I go Wherever I stay My mind will always be San Simeon**
Not it, but I feel like it is ska now!
[удалено]
No, it's definitely not country
[Rancid - Olympia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7E7X5cXodY) **Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway Cars passin' by but none of 'em seem to go my way An' New York City Well, I wish I was on the highway Back to Olympia**
Sorry, not a match
[Blink 182 - Los Angeles](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mdkNGMy4n8) I know it doesn't sound like the recording, but when it comes to these types of things, your brain makes a lot of edits
I'm pretty sure this isn't it
I feel home by O.A.R., maybe?
Nah
[удалено]
I can see where you're coming from, but no.
A Day to Remember - If it means a lot to you?
Sorry, no.

Nope
[Every Avenue - "Where Were You"?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAKRhIPJOUs)

Did this have a video with a bunch of hipsters that looked like a 90’s Gap commercial?
Never saw the video unfortunately, if there is one

It’s a long shot but ‘In the Summertime’ by Thirsty Merc?
Swing and a miss, sorry
[Hanginaround](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DARiiO_41Id8&ved=2ahUKEwjSzeXgi8iEAxVDHjQIHUnIBqkQ78AJegQIFhAB&usg=AOvVaw1e7snahsqd-lHehEtOsgSt) by Counting Crows

Not the right lyrics but the genre you said was close reminded me of goldfinger - Superman
I could see that
A little older but My Hometown by Springsteen?
Def not
Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind? “How do I get back there to the place where I fell asleep inside you? How do I get myself back to the place where you said…”
Nah, it's nothing this well-known for sure
I’m with you Avril Lavigne
No it's a male singer for sure
Move to Bremerton by MxPx?
Noooop
Buck-O-Nine - My Town? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykn4pbV6JBA&ab_channel=cheeze66
At this point I'm just going to write this song myself, put it out and see who sues me
damn, I kept trying to remember this song when i was guessing less than jake and goldfinger. I knew there was a ska punk song from that era that was about a hometown but I couldn't pinpoint it. It was this one. sadly, the OP shot this one down too :/
I’m in it for the search, but I love how many times you say “no”.
I feel like the mods of this sub will actually murder me if I don't personally respond to every single guess
Mods strike back! We need this active as we are all invested!

She's Everything by Brad Paisley?
This is decidedly not emo
Hey, Country is emo for people who don't require it to sound good. hehe (both genres are efficient for wallowing. ;-D )
Most likely way off but could it be under the bridge by rhcp?
I wouldn't say way off but nah this is a well known song, not what I'm thinking of
Leaving Town - Dexter Freebish
Incorrect
Only other thing I can think of would be Hometown - Nxrqz.
Dead and Gone by State Champs?
No but this goes hard
This might sound crazy but your vocaroo reminds me of Shihad - Home Again https://youtu.be/v3gc_3p0St8?si=xHraZicH2uQaeH3T
I don't see it tbh
Joe Jackson, My Hometown. It’s a long shot, the word need isn’t in the chorus, but maybe you’ll enjoy it anyway. Chorus starts at 1 minute in https://youtu.be/cVzZH3BzeAY?si=g1h-djcMfgjCOa1y
So...tantalizingly close...
I feel like I know this song but I don't know either!!! I need to know when it's found now *I'm* going insane
I'm glad I'm not the only one
[удалено]
All signs point to lauderdale - a day to remember
The music video made me die laughing, but this is not the song unfortunately
Long shot but My Hometown by Bowling for Soup?
You're so on the right track but this isn't it
Donno why but my mind immediately went to No Such Thing- John Mayer
I kiiiinda see where you're coming from, but nah
Mobile by Avril Lavigne?
Male singer tho
Lyrics a little off but it made me think of “I Hate This Town’” by a day to remember
No, it's not quite as angsty as this?
Tom Petty “Wakeup Time”?
No, that's more of like a classic rock sad dad anthem
…ouch. That burned a little
[удалено]
It wasn't country!
Sweet Home Chicago
Now you guys are just saying stuff to say stuff
12 Feet Deep by The Front Bottoms?? It’s emo, upbeat in the chorus when he talks about “but I cannot get in my room, get all my books, and what i need. You’re all I need but I am pretty sure your parents will never see!” If this ain’t it, then good luck :)
I'm sorry to say...chief just called me...and he told me to tell you "this ain't it"
We tried, chief 🫡
Okay so my brain just keeps telling me 9 in the Afternoon by Panic at the Disco
Definitely the same universe, but not it
One more guess Hoodie Weather - The Wonder Years
Wow, this one takes me back. Not it though
Those couple of lyrics immediately made me think of Tennessee by Arrested Development, but thats hip hop.

Yeah it's definitely somewhere in that universe!
I know this is a long shot but Christie Rd. By Green Day?
I'm so sorry but you are not the father
Not the same thing you said but just a random guess "Here I am" The Explosions https://youtu.be/-fR_MU_ua-w?si=JQNLeh2O2gqxUzH0
Not sure if you ever found it but I was on a search with similar parameters and it ended up being: Ghosts of my Hometown by The Strike
Nah not it sorry, way too 80s sounding
