Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The dimmin' of the light makes the picture clearer

It's just an old photograph, there's nothin' to hide

When the world was just beginnin'

I memorized a face so it's not forgotten

I hear the wind whistlin', come back anytime

And we'll mix our lives together

[Verse 2]

Heaven knows what keeps mankind alive

Every hand goes searchin' for its partner

In crime under chairs and behind tables

Connecting to places we have known

I'm lookin' for a

[Verse 3]

Home, where the wheels are turning, home, why I keep returning

Home, where my world is breaking in two

Home, with the neighbors fighting, home, always so exciting

Home, where my parents tellin' the truth

[Verse 4]

Home, such a funny feeling, home, no one ever speaking

Home, with our bodies touching, home, and the cameras watching

Home will infect what ever you do

Were home comes to life from out of the blue

[Verse 5]

Tiny little boats on a beach at sunset

I took a drink from a jar and into my head

Familiar smells and flavors

Vehicles are stuck on the plains of heaven

I see their wheels spinnin' round and everywhere

I can hear those people sayin'

[Verse 6]

And the eye is the measure of the man

You can fly from the stuff that still surrounds you

We're home and the band keeps marchin' on

Connecting to every living soul

Compassion for things I'll never know
