Hometown
Journey to Hometown: A Melancholic Reflection
Lyrics
I came home alone again
Returning home by oneself once more.
Thought I saw you in my bed
Imagining your presence in my bed.
Turns out it was all in my head
Realizing it was a fabrication of my mind.
Knew you found a place to stay
Knowing you found a place to stay.
But didn't know you went away
Unaware of your departure.
Caught me in a place regret
Caught in a moment of regret.
Caught me going, speeding on a long drive
Driving fast on a lengthy journey.
Could've called me but you knew that I wouldn't reply
Aware that you chose not to contact me, anticipating my lack of response.
Maybe I'm just overthinking
Considering possibilities excessively.
Couldn't stop myself from sinking
Unable to prevent myself from descending further.
Knew I'd run from the first night
Anticipating fleeing since the initial night.
Driving away to my hometown
Driving back to my hometown.
Haven't been since most of it burned down
Haven't visited since a significant part was destroyed by fire.
A perfect place to stay
It used to be an ideal place to reside.
My only happy place
The sole place that brings happiness.
Apart from your embrace
Except for being in your arms.
If I could I would forget
If possible, I'd erase all the pain I caused you.
All the pain I left you in
You're suffering, and I'm absent.
You're breaking and I'm nowhere around you
While I've moved on to explore hidden aspects of you.
But I've gone on to see the things
Discovering what you concealed.
That you kept underneath your sleeve
Leaving so you wouldn't witness my departure.
I'm leaving so you didn't have to
Observing the speed during a long drive.
See me going speeding on a long drive
You could've phoned for a final goodbye.
Could've called me and said your last goodbyes
Perhaps I'm excessively contemplating.
Maybe I'm just overthinking
Unable to halt my descent into despair.
I can't stop myself from sinking
Struggling for a prolonged period.
I've been trying for a long time
Returning to my hometown once more.
Driving away to my hometown
Haven't been there since much of it burned down.
Haven't been since most of it burned down
It used to be an ideal place to reside.
A perfect place to stay
The sole place that brings happiness.
My only happy place
Except for being in your embrace.
Apart from our embrace
Driving away from you.
Driving away from you
Continually moving away from you.
Away from you
-Away from you
-Away from you
-You saw me speeding, going on a long drive
You observed me driving fast on a lengthy journey.
Could've called me but you knew I wouldn't reply
Aware you could've reached out, but expected my lack of response.
Maybe I'm just overthinking
Perhaps I'm excessively contemplating.
I can't stop myself from sinking
Unable to halt my descent into despair.
Knew I'd run from the first night
Anticipating fleeing since the initial night.
I knew I'd run
Acknowledging my tendency to run away.
