Yellowcard Lyrics

Album: Ocean Avenue

Back Home Lyrics

Don't know what I was looking for when I went home, I found me alone

 And sometimes I need someone to say, "You'll be all right. What's on your mind?"

 But the water's shallow here and I am full of fear, and empty handed after two long years

 

 Another sunny day in Californ-i-a

 I'm sure back home they'd love to see it

 But they don't know that what you love is ripped away

 Before you get a chance to feel it

 

 Back home I always thought I wanted so much more, now I'm not too sure

 Cause sometimes I miss knowing someone's there for me and feeling free

 Free to stand beside the ocean in moonlight

 And light myself a smoke beneath the dark Atlantic sky

 

 Another sunny day in Californ-i-a

 I'm sure back home they'd love to see it

 But they don't know that what you love is ripped away

 Before you get a chance, before you get a chance to feel it

 

 Everybody here is living life in fear of falling out of line

 Tearing lives apart and breaking lots of hearts just to pass the time

 And the eyes get red in the back of your head, this place will make you blind

 Put it all behind me and I'll be just fine

 

 Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky

 Sometimes I wish that it would rain here

 And wash away the west coast dreaming from my eyes

 There's nothing real for them to see here

 

 Another starry night in Californ-i-a

 I'm sure back home they'd love to see it

 But they don't know that what you love is ripped away

 Before you get a chance, before you get a chance to feel it
