Homecoming
from No In Between EP by cellardoor
lyrics
Since I've been away it's been hard
to cope with the feeling
that every time I am back here
still feels like leaving
This city's not what it used to be
barren like there's no memory left
Deepen in the sunny streets where we used to play now there's sorrow
Passing down in their family trees
this heritage follows
turning into this death drive you see
crumbling all hope we thought we had
How can you live here
call this home
And feel like a stranger for so long
How can you live here
When it's all you know
Walking around these old blocks today
I can hear their ravings
So realize it before it's too late
they're not worth saving
this is not the best we can be
crumbling all love we thought we shared
How can you live here
call this home
And feel like a stranger for so long
How can you live here
When it's all you know
How can you live here
All this time
still waiting for some kind of sign
How can you live here
When it's all you know
It took me a while to understand
I was naive but now I can see
You're one of them!
Lately, we've been draining all the water
Trying to flood this town
Or maybe we've been waiting for a fire
That could burn it to the ground
there's a time
to begin
all a friendship can be
but for now, we are done
we are now enemies
no longer seventeen
with a bag full of dreams
now I'm too old to put up
with your old bigotries
So the world that I see
you won't find in those streets
there's no place for beliefs
or delusions of greed
cause this heart of mine has just two settings:
nothing at all or too much
there is no in between
no in between
to cope with the feeling
that every time I am back here
still feels like leaving
This city's not what it used to be
barren like there's no memory left
Deepen in the sunny streets where we used to play now there's sorrow
Passing down in their family trees
this heritage follows
turning into this death drive you see
crumbling all hope we thought we had
How can you live here
call this home
And feel like a stranger for so long
How can you live here
When it's all you know
Walking around these old blocks today
I can hear their ravings
So realize it before it's too late
they're not worth saving
this is not the best we can be
crumbling all love we thought we shared
How can you live here
call this home
And feel like a stranger for so long
How can you live here
When it's all you know
How can you live here
All this time
still waiting for some kind of sign
How can you live here
When it's all you know
It took me a while to understand
I was naive but now I can see
You're one of them!
Lately, we've been draining all the water
Trying to flood this town
Or maybe we've been waiting for a fire
That could burn it to the ground

but for now, we are done
we are now enemies
no longer seventeen

So the world that I see
you won't find in those streets
there's no place for beliefs
or delusions of greed
cause this heart of mine has just two settings:
nothing at all or too much
there is no in between
no in between
