When We Came Home

When we came home to find a sunset
No sunrise had come up yet
No people walking round here only ghosts with the same names
When we came home
That silver lining was barely even shining
No finish line was drawn to tell us we had reached the end
When we came home
The house that made us now is only there to cage us
Along with those who stayed behind inside the walls that made us
And I swore I'd never go back again
I swore I'd never go back again
When we came home
That empty nest was like a weight upon their chest
All the beds were made and walls were painted darker than the rest
When we came home
That dirty river it kept on flowing thicker
With the dust of long gone restaurants and empty bottles of liquor
When we came home
My sister Lisa took a pill out in Ibiza
Now she says she's found God and getting phone calls now from Jesus
And I swore I'd never go back again
I swore I'd never go back again
When we came home
Some part of me knew I was never going to leave
Yeah the streets flow through my memory like some kind of disease
When we came home
I learned that age is just a turning of the page
And those pages keep on turning and you don't decide the end
And I swore I'd never go back again
I swore I'd never go back again
