The Way Home

From a train window looking at the river
There's a red brick city under clouds of silver
Lined with trees of orange and gold
So much to learn that I didn't know

But now the times have changed
People and polaroids fade
No more late night drives for coffee
Or sitting in my room just talking
I can't help but feel so alone
This used to be the way home

We'd drive to the beach, singing all our favourite songs
Cold drinks and pink ice cream as we sit on the docks
You know it's not the same driving down these roads
Wondering how I should let go

But now the times have changed
People and polaroids fade
No more late night drives for coffee
Or sitting in my room just talking
And I can't help but feel so alone
This used to be the way home

It was a day in June
The sun's golden hue
Shone in an empty room
As I stood there with you
And it's almost been a year
But I still see it clear
Nostalgias hard to steer
When memories won't disappear

But now the times have changed
People and Polaroids fade
No more late night drives for coffee
Or sitting in my room just talking
And I can't help but feel so alone

Cuz now the times have changed
People and Polaroids fade
The leaves are lost to the winter
This city isn't so familiar
And I can't help but feel so alone
This used to be the way home
