Unfamiliar Home

There's a train that always came through our town
When all else was quiet, when the sun went down
Sometimes I wondered where it's headed, where it's been
Was it coming or going, was it the start or the end
And there's a tower that would ring downtown
When all else is quiet, it wouldn't make a sound
Sometimes I wondered when it rang or clanged
Was it beginning or stopping, was it the start or the end

I hate to say it lately
To think of that train or clock
But At the end of my time, I know it's easy to see
A vibrant world shouting back at me
I'm like that train, unsure of where I'm headed
I wanna understand my purpose that's embedded
I'm like that clock, so quiet in the evening
Wishing I could be with you instead of leaving

Well I could speak in metaphors all night if I had to
But the point is that I'm leaving, with a somber attitude
Can't say for sure where I'll be or what I'll do
I just need you to know, that my thanks is to you

I hate to say it lately
To think of that train or clock
But At the end of my time, I know it's easy to see
A vibrant world shouting back at me
I'm like that train, unsure of where I'm headed
I wanna understand my purpose that's embedded
I'm like that clock, so quiet in the evening
Wishing I could be with you instead of leaving

We're in and out of heartache
Like a hurricane of emotion
The storm has come and run it's course
But we're still drowning in an ocean
It's a curious thing, when it never feels okay
A familiar, former home, yet nothing's the same
It wasn't this place that filled me with pride
It was the people around me that made me feel alive

We're still drowning in an ocean, an ocean
We're still drowning in an ocean
An Ocean, an ocean
We're still drowning in an ocean
An Ocean, an ocean
We're still drowning in an ocean
An Ocean, an ocean
We're still drowning
We're still drowning
