Back Home
Yellowcard
Back Home (Original Version)
Don't know what I was looking for
When I went home, I found me alone
And sometimes I need someone to say
You'll be all right, what's on your mind?
But the water's shallow here
And I am full of fear
And empty handed after two long years
Another sunny day in California
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance to feel it
Back home I always thought I wanted
So much more, now I'm not too sure
Cause sometimes I miss knowing someone's there
For me and feeling free
Free to stand beside the ocean in moonlight
And light myself a smoke
Beneath the dark Atlantic sky
Another sunny day in California
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance, before you get a chance to feel it
Everybody here is living life in fear of falling out of line
Tearing lives apart and breaking lots of hearts just to pass the time
And the eyes get red in the back of your head
This place will make you blind
Put it all behind me and I'll be just fine
Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky
Sometimes I wish that it would rain here
And wash away the west coast dreaming from my eyes
There's nothing real for them to see here
Another starry night in California
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance, before you get a chance to feel it
