You Can Never Go Home Again Lyrics

I took my first steps there, first time they cut my hair

Learned to ride a bike so I could go anywhere

My parents kept me safe, but they let me get into my share

A high school ring, she made my young heart sing

She was the first to open my eyes to grown-up things

Until I went off to school, in search of what else life might bring

I miss the ocean's smell, those streets I knew so well

Believe it or not I even miss the rain

But they're just memories now, and though I might wonder how

I know you can never go home again

Oh, I still think of you, when I'm feeling blue

I remember every crazy thing we used to do

And I wonder sometimes, did any of your dreams ever come true

On that day I phoned, and left you all alone

Couldn't help myself, I was itching to roam

Ain't it funny how the mind works, we need to travel but we long to be home

I miss the ocean's smell, those streets I knew so well

Believe it or not I even miss the rain

But they're just memories now, and though I might wonder how

I know you can never go home again

Finally found my way home, walked those streets all alone

Lots of things had changed, but nothin' had

And I realized that day, home's just a place in your heart

I miss the ocean's smell, those streets I knew so well

Believe it or not I even miss the rain

But they're just memories now, and though I might wonder how

I know you can never go home again
