I went back today to see
The streets I walked at 17
The sidewalk cracks remembered me
But welcomed me reluctantly
The local parks where I used to go
Have since become someone else's home
Hold on tight to place you know
'Cause generations come and go
And it's like I've lost a part of me
The years have left me wondering
If peace is something I'll ever know
I just want to be at home
I went back today to see
The house I lived in 'til 18
I mean, yeah, I'd come back every spring
But then autumn would get the best of me
I left and walked up the bridge at 10
Remembered the thoughts that went through my head
I started up at the evening sky
Then smiled and walked down the other side
And it's like I've lost a part of me
The years have left me wondering
If peace is something I'll ever know
I just want to be at home
Hey!
I can still remember where the floor creaks there
And the stains on the carpet we threw out that year
After The Eight, this place felt fine again
And I can still remember how the main street rolled
And the school they tore down not far from home
The memories were laid to rest that day
And it's like I've lost a part of me (Lost inside)
The years have left me wondering (Where am I?)
If peace is something I'll ever know (Have I been left behind?)
I just want to be at home
