I honestly don't know how I got here
I truly think I
must've taken the wrong streets
I don't think that this looks like my house
these don't look like my things
I wouldn't have come if I had known
that I would be intruding
I must of lost my way a little ways back

can someone tell me how to make my way home
I'd like to go home

the roar in my head
is the rush all around me
people rushing by
as the fear rushes in
suddenly I'm waist deep
suddenly I'm neck deep
suddenly I'm drowning
in this room getting full
and the strangest part is strangers swimming by
smiling like they know me
and all my words head for the surface
but don't make a sound

I close my eyes
to take it all in
this trip I took
taking all the wrong streets
and I know there's no reason to ask
and there's no one to blame
when I write all the rules
then change them all when I lose the game
when I create the calm and all the chaos
that comes down on me
so I try to calm the chaos and calm down
and open my eyes wide enough to see

my shirt doesn't quite fit
my face isn't quite me
this looks just like my life
but it just couldn't be
the suns a little dim
the world seems a little small
I seem a little older
and there's no music at all
and all my friends have different names
and I have lost it
so I head for the door

seeing everything change has made me lose it
and I head for the door

the door comes open
more comes crashing inside
I let it all back in
all the things i tried to hide
all the hopes i had hoped
the ways i miss friends
all the times that I choked
the ways I'm scared it will end
how it's funny how mirrors won't lie
like people will
sometimes you've gotta get a look at your life
like no one else ever will

can someone tell me how to make my way back
I'd like to go home
someone told me that you never get it back
that you can't go home

I'd like to go home
