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
