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 California 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 feelin' free Free to stand beside the ocean in moonlight And light myself a smoke beneath the dark Atlantic sky Another sunny day in California 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 livin' life in fear of fallin' out of line Tearin' lives apart and breakin' lots of hearts just to pa*s 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 dreamin' from my eyes There's nothin' real for them to see here Another starry night in California 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
