Homeward Lyrics

Loosen up when stars fall

They can spin a pretty tale, but they're all bastards after all

All the foolish thoughts I had when I was small

Ended up amounting to nothing at all

I was only passing by

On a trail of thwarted plans, I met an agent in disguise

Who I couldn't evade no matter what schemes I tried

Lying here awake, my eyes search the ceiling

My heart has no feeling

I don't remember, it was too long ago

Smouldering embers are all that's left of what I used to know

But all the time my eyes were on the road

I couldn't see that I was heading homeward

I've been beckoning in an ever-receding tide

Climbing up a mountain, sliding down the other side

I keep forgetting, my memory's erased

The sun is setting, and casting shadows on those earlier days

But every time I took a step away

I couldn't tell that I was heading homeward

Nobody showed me that I was heading homeward

I couldn't see that I was heading homeward
