Unfamiliar Home

There's a train that always came through our town When all else was quiet, when the sun went down Sometimes I wondered where it's headed, where it's been Was it coming or going, was it the start or the end And there's a tower that would ring downtown When all else is quiet, it wouldn't make a sound Sometimes I wondered when it rang or clanged Was it beginning or stopping, was it the start or the end I hate to say it lately To think of that train or clock But At the end of my time, I know it's easy to see A vibrant world shouting back at me I'm like that train, unsure of where I'm headed I wanna understand my purpose that's embedded I'm like that clock, so quiet in the evening Wishing I could be with you instead of leaving Well I could speak in metaphors all night if I had to But the point is that I'm leaving, with a somber attitude Can't say for sure where I'll be or what I'll do I just need you to know, that my thanks is to you I hate to say it lately To think of that train or clock But At the end of my time, I know it's easy to see A vibrant world shouting back at me I'm like that train, unsure of where I'm headed I wanna understand my purpose that's embedded I'm like that clock, so quiet in the evening Wishing I could be with you instead of leaving We're in and out of heartache Like a hurricane of emotion The storm has come and run it's course But we're still drowning in an ocean It's a curious thing, when it never feels okay A familiar, former home, yet nothing's the same It wasn't this place that filled me with pride It was the people around me that made me feel alive We're still drowning in an ocean, an ocean We're still drowning in an ocean An Ocean, an ocean We're still drowning in an ocean An Ocean, an ocean We're still drowning in an ocean An Ocean, an ocean We're still drowning We're still drowning
