home ft. Annie E Lyrics

I haven't been out since the world came to an end

Had my head down knitting fog

When I heard the window knock

Said the last trip in the world was selling tickets at a loss

and I'd never live it down to not attend

So I took to the hills

Filled with dandelion flowers

Where I once laid until

I was sleeping in the stars

But the same words that the townfolks sang as hymns

Said perennials and weeds just weren't the same

There was no station but the captain played charades

Hit a break when green turned gold

Stopped to catch a breath of smoke

couldn't tell if he was high or maybe I was getting old

Playing power games and boasting accolades

I thought of the times

When I tried to get ahead

Chased after the heroes

That were planted in my head

Every time I rode express from A to B

I lost a little more of me

We color by numbers

Stay in our own lanes

Take out the trash on Tuesdays

Go by the same nine names

The city never sleeps

I used to think that was something nice to say

Oh

When I'm gone

Leave my keys under the rug

For when I'm done

Oh

And I'll atone

For the seeds of mass destruction

That I sheltered as my own

So take me home

I haven't seen myself since when, I can't recall

If it's always been that way.

Now I know I'll be okay

Cause the best view of the sky comes out when I knocked down the walls

And home is where the heart is after all
