lyrics

I can't go back to my hometown
Everything's changed
I can't reverse my own frown
That remains the same
The buildings tell the story of the boys who run
And cracks all in the sidewalk speak of lives that end before they've begun

And I must make some change
And I must rearrange
The twisted world won't fall in on me
And I cannot bear this river stone
That pulls me under the water, the water
Till it takes me away

The city's dark and crowded
And I need my space
Words are barked and shouted
I need a slower pace
I'm constantly surrounded by the great unknown
And who will tell my story if I'm not allowed to begin to write my own?

And I must make some change
And I must rearrange
This heavy earth won't fall on top of me
And I cannot bear these fragile bones
That will walk me into the water, the water
Till it takes me away

I can't go back to my hometown
Everything's changed
But home's not really home now
And I don't know why I came
But deep inside your body is where the answer lies
Where I see my own reflection and, looking back at me, it screams and replies

That I must make some change
I must rearrange
My burning heart won't collapse on me
And I cannot rest till I make you my home
And my grave won't be the water, the water
That takes me away
