lyrics

And so I’m back here again
I met some of my old friends
No, I can’t believe that these are the people
Who stare in my nightmares
Every once in a while
No I’ve never been strong enough to cut all ties

I wake in my bed in the big, big city
The world at my feet but I feel dizzy
Choking on these small-town memories again
and they say…

There is no place like home
But the pace of this town
Has never been a rhythm to me
There is no place like home
But the bass line of my life
Has always resonated with the beat of a city

Yeah it’s a fact that I know
Every tree as I go
through the woods to the place that I used to adore
Where everything is so quiet
And you could be lying in the grass for hours

And now that I’m back in the big, big city
I suddenly see the life I’m missing
I’ll always be the one that has left
Ran as far as she could at the first chance
and they say…

But my hopes fall down
When no one’s around
Thought the city could cure me
But now I’m in doubt

Suddenly I know
Wherever I go
In the end it’s my choices
That make me feel alone
and they say…
