Environs
Journey to Self-Discovery: Joel Bernstein's 'Environs'
Lyrics
Well I think I just learned something
Expressing a recent realization or understanding.
Like who you are
Reflecting on someone's true identity or character.
And I think I just keep running
Continuing to move forward or progress.
To where you are
Heading towards the person previously mentioned.
I'm coming home to you
Repeatedly affirming the intention to return home.
I'm coming home to you
-I'm coming home to you
-I'm coming home to you
-I should stop myself, I get it
Acknowledging the need to exercise self-control.
It's funny how things go, innit
Reflecting on the unpredictable nature of life.
Well get yourself in, fitted
Suggesting a desire for conformity or acceptance.
Tell me I just wanna fit in
Expressing the wish to belong or be part of a group.
I tell myself we're all the same
Stating a belief in the commonality of humanity.
Like I said "what a shame"
Expressing disappointment or regret.
We're all to blame is all I'm saying
Attributing responsibility to everyone.
We want a change
Expressing a collective desire for change.
But life outside can wait
Postponing engagement with life outside the current context.
I'm coming home to you
Reiterating the commitment to return home.
I'm coming home to you
-I'm coming home to you
-I'm coming home to you
-I'm coming home to you
Reaffirming the intention to come back home.
I'm coming home to you
-I'm coming home to you
-I'm coming home to you
