People around me are drowning in deadlines And Im all alone at my desk late at night Theyre getting drunk on the stress and the chaos And my only high is staring at the city lights Cold souls in trench coats stare through me As they ride the 6 back to their families and friends The train makes a stop and I get off Its only eight hours til the next lifeless day begins Take me back home They told me to fly and Ive flown I need the place Where the girl at the drugstore knows my name by heart Remembers the items in my shopping cart Back home Despite the sharp curves in the road I could drive fine With eyes closed to the key hid under the rock And I know just which way to jiggle the lock Back home They told me to reach for the stars But theyre a lot farther than I ever thought theyd be And Im disconnected from all thats familiar From all that I love still tethered to me They call me for all of the updates I smile through the phone and tell them that everythings fine The grilled cheese at the diner is never as good as The one Dad made me on a Sunday night Take me back home They told me to fly and Ive flown I need the place Where the girl at the drugstore knows my name by heart Remembers the items in my shopping cart Back home Across the blue bridge down the road I could drive fine With eyes closed to the key hid under the rock And I know just which way to jiggle the lock Back home Home Home
