lyrics

I flew back home the other day
I thought of all the right words I could say to my family
When I was through, they all said “good for you”
and there went a whole thirty seconds right out of my day

The sun in the sky looks awfully familiar
I remember it’s glow even though I haven’t been here in a while
Then it came to me: the sun I see
is the same one that I saw when I left this place long ago

Bittersweet
the people I see
look the same as they did years ago

I flew back home the other day
I thought of all the right ways I could look at you
But in every city I saw so much prettier
even though nothing has changed in a while

Sentiment
lost in the pavement (what a shame)
of a sidewalk I have walked on before

Now that I’m finally so near
it’s easy to see so clearly:
there’s nothing left here for me anymore
