lyrics

(Climb up and slide down
And spin all the way around
And when I come to
Will I know what to do?)

When I look back to where we first began
It’s hard to recall all of the songs we sang
And all of the tales we told when we were kids
We didn’t know that they would lead to this

I left home
Where did it go wrong?
I returned
To find bridges burned

I’m well aware by now how these things pass
Enjoyed for a while although they never last
But what do you think they said after I left?
He never belonged even when we were friends

I’m not home
Not where I belong
So I won’t grieve
When it’s time to leave

I must admit, I had my part in this
I’m sorry for what I said not what I did
But that won’t replace everything we have lost
Nothing I earn will reconcile this cost

What was home
Is empty and cold
It disappeared
Just like I had feared
So I’ll take the low road
But I don’t think it leads home

Someday will come when this will be alright
Even if that’s only within my mind
And I’ll find something to put this all to bed
Withstand attacks to both the heart and head

I’ve lost home
But I won’t lose hope
In what I’ll find
Further down the line
So I’ll bide my time
I’ll trust in what’s mine
And she will take me
To where I should be
