Going Home

(album: Singing To Strangers - 2019)

Excuse me while I disappear
I think I've overstayed my welcome here
So now I think it's best I go
Before my heart turns to stone

Been travelling a hundred years
Thought I was close but I was nowhere near
When I asked myself where do you want to go
I guess I've never known

But baby now I think I really know

I've been looking for a better day, my great escape
Never afraid to go it alone
I'm still looking for a better day, my great escape
Only now it's a better way to get back home

Excuse me while I interrupt
All this noise and all this fuss
Working night and day and all the songs I love to play
They take me further away

Further from the ones I love
I don't know what I was thinking of
When I told myself go out and chase your dreams
And find out what they mean

Now I can't wait to quit this crazy scene

I've been looking for a better day, my great escape
Never afraid to go it alone
I'm still looking for a better day, my great escape
Only now it's a better way to get back home

And all the while the burden of my choice
Defines the man I am
And all the pain I feel is in my voice
I hope you understand
I hope you understand

I've been looking for a better day, my great escape
Never afraid to go it alone
I'm still looking for a better day, my great escape
Only now it's a better way to get back home, hey!

I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
Hey!
I'm going home
No, no, no, no, no
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
Hey!
I'm going home
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Hey...
Hey-oh...
I'm going home
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'm going home...
