Lyrics

Home ain’t the place I am going today,
I haven’t been there in years.
And you couldn’t ask me and why haven’t I been,
You know I’m frozen by fear.
And if you can see me then why can’t you reach me,
Why can’t you look at my face? 
And if you are waiting, then why are you standing,
And why are you here?

Time is on fire, the world might be ending,
Because nothing that’s evil persists.
And only a fool that’s caught in the wreckage,
Could think it’ll always exist.

Wounded and weary, I crossed the Jordan,
I finally reached the far side.
Say what you will about all my shortcomings,
But I didn’t find it too wide.
And looking back on it, it could have been different,
I could have been someone else.
Life is that ocean, and I walked beside it,
Till I fell behind.
