Pete Blumenauer - A Way Home Lyrics

All of our dreams that seem to fragment away, I used to say, you were to blame
Secretly, down on myself my thoughts lead me from home, leaving me alone
Well I drifted around when things fall apart, like they so often do when you don't follow through
And I remember, you tried, you called out my name. Wishing me to stay...
I need a way, I need away, I need away home
I've got a $20 bill and not enough clothes but I'm free I guess, to roam on my own
Moment after moment feels me slipping away, to something way too familiar
I need a way, I need a way, I need a way home

And though I spend this time with you this moment is our only truth
My mind lingers on the way to some seeming distant shore

Well I can't get it back in I just can't let go and I'm great now old and growing cold

Everything's falling to be disbursed in the rain
Everything's falling only to rise again
Everything's falling... reflecting all that is... Me

I need away, I need away, I need a way home
(I wanted you to stay
I wished you'd never left
I didn't want you to go away
I wanted you to stay
I tried to get you back
I didn't want you to go away)
