When I Was Here

Oh I have my reasons to be leaving here

And I can’t be blamed that it was not our year

You know I’m sad that we fell out

But I’ve made a turn and home is near

And I wish you well

Even if I had no reason to be here

And my friends had not all moved away that year

Still the road would call me on

These streets at dawn I’m living on

They’ll call you too

I can stay and I’ll explain

The channels change but I’m the same

We can play and seize the day

They all ask if you’re the one that changed

After all this time I’m not sure what has changed

Though things in my head have all been rearranged

See the houses there where people stare

And the hills have burned

Has all I learned been burned away?

I can stay another day

The channels change but I’m the same

We can play and seize the day

The sketches draw you to their game
