Far away from home, didn’t get there on your own two feet
Said I’d stop writing songs about you when you came back to me
But you didn’t, and I still did
I said go back to the place that you’ll call home, but you can’t go back no you can’t go back
Home, it’s the place you wanna go but you can’t go back no you can’t go back, go
And I don’t wanna know what you have left to say
It won’t mean much anyways, ‘cause you are not the same
And I don’t wanna know what you have left to do
I don’t care where you’re going, I don’t belong with you
I don’t belong with you
I said go back to the place that you call home
You left your family for some friends you can’t win this, God forbid, you’re not a kid
You lost your innocence, but I still watch you reminisce as you get expressionless oh
And I’ve been many places and I’ve done stupid things through the thick and the thin and shit your good side still remains
I flushed away the bad times and made myself homesick
Yeah I flushed away the bad times oh
Gone so far away from home, you shout “look, I don’t see”
If home is where the heart is then all you’ve got is me
Straight shots are never easy, God knows it was my first
Surefire for disaster, we turn for the worst
They’ll say, “Look see, age sixteen has no meaning.”
But it’s not that easy
It was a first for me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I don’t wanna know what you have left to say
It won’t mean much anyways, ‘cause you are not the same
I don’t wanna know what you have left to do
I don’t care where you’re going, I don’t belong with you
I don’t wanna know what you have left to say
It won’t mean much anyways, ‘cause you are not the same
I don’t wanna know what you have left to do
I don’t care where you’re going, I don’t belong with you
