When We Came Home

When we came home to find a sunset No sunrise had come up yet No people walking round here only ghosts with the same names When we came home That silver lining was barely even shining No finish line was drawn to tell us we had reached the end When we came home The house that made us now is only there to cage us Along with those who stayed behind inside the walls that made us And I swore I'd never go back again I swore I'd never go back again When we came home That empty nest was like a weight upon their chest All the beds were made and walls were painted darker than the rest When we came home That dirty river it kept on flowing thicker With the dust of long gone restaurants and empty bottles of liquor When we came home My sister Lisa took a pill out in Ibiza Now she says she's found God and getting phone calls now from Jesus And I swore I'd never go back again I swore I'd never go back again When we came home Some part of me knew I was never going to leave Yeah the streets flow through my memory like some kind of disease When we came home I learned that age is just a turning of the page And those pages keep on turning and you don't decide the end And I swore I'd never go back again I swore I'd never go back again
