So let me first start off by saying How hard I've been working towards this goal That was set in stone Behind my eyelids from hours of countless dreaming And second, let me tell you about this feeling I can't describe 'Cause as I try to get this all out I know that I'm not better off at all 'Cause this town's never seemed so cold Then, when I'm home for the week on a holiday I look around, everything has changed Life's not the same since you've gone away Since you've gone away I've come to this conclusion, That I was foolish when I thought That if I just put my trust in coming home, That I'd be better off All that just got me thinking about that feeling I can't describe And as I try to get this all out I realize I'm not better off at all When I'm home for the week on a holiday I look around, everything has changed Life's not the same since you've gone away Since you've gone away I've been home for the week on a holiday I look around, everything has changed Life's not the same since you've gone away Since you've gone away We all need a reason to believe We all need a reason We all need a reason to believe We all need a reason (When I'm home for the week on a holiday Look around, everything has changed Life's not the same since you've gone away 'Cause you've gone away) Home for the week on a holiday Look around, everything has changed Life's not the same since you've gone away Since you've gone away (We all need a reason to believe We all need a reason We all need a reason to believe We all need a reason) At the end of the day We always need a reason to believe She said, "Love can take you anywhere you want"
