Yellowcard - Back Home

 ★ 



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 Californ-i-a

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 Californ-i-a

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 Californ-i-a

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
