The Way Back Home

Didn't I tell you the way back home

Didn't I warn you to stay on the road

Didn't I help you to understand

That life is just time passing thru your hands

There's no easy path thru it

The truth is there is no truth to it

Moving thru the spotlight

Don't let the paparazzi world define you

Now you've made your mark on it

I know you believed the hope of it

You know nobody wins

It's the way you lose that keeps it hopeful

Didn't I tell you I will be there

Didn't I show you

I really care

You spoke of your plans for it

You talked all about your destiny

I could see the rain clouds

But I couldn't stop the rain from falling

You tried to go way beyond it

You'd already made the most of it

Nothing wrong with dreaming

Just don't fool yourself about the meaning

Didn't I tell you the way back home

Didn't I warn you to stay on the road

Didn't I help you to understand

That life is just time passing thru your plans

You say that you can't let go of it

That your life only works because of it

You're afraid that you can't hold on to it

But your heart doesn't seem so sold on it

Why not try to believe the heart of it

Why not try to perceive the art in it

Why not let me be more a part of it

Didn't I tell you that I'd be there

Didn't I show you that I really care

Didn't I tell you the way back home

Didn't I warn you to stay on the road

Didn't I help you to understand

That life is just time passing thru your hands
