lyrics

welcome home

my life is like
garden state
personified

not all homecomings
warrant celebration.

i went to a party last night
where nobody knew my face
with cocaine drained minds
these kids tried to find ecstasy
behind breathing teeth
man, this kind of reality
can bring you to your knees
but that's okay with me:
after the shit i've seen

take me for a ride;
anywhere you like.
pick up and go, just
forget the compass rose.

i know we can't drive around the world
but if you're with me,
i won't stop when we hit the coast
'cause i'll be damned
if we don't float to
whichever shore
you wish to claim as yours.
and i would fight for your right to say so.

take me for a ride;
anywhere you like.
pick up and go, just
forget the compass rose.
only this time
make me remember
why i liked being here.
because that memory
is gone now,
and i wish it wasn't.

but now i've learned
a catharsis
only heals sweeter
when it's earned.
