You Put the Rock n' Roll Back

Lyrics
When I am drowning

Can't find my way home
Feeling lost and unable to find one's way back home, both physically and metaphorically.

And that's how it goes
Accepting the unpredictable nature of life and its challenges.
When they say they're believing

But it's all for show
Acknowledging that the expressions of belief are not genuine and are merely a facade.
I'll always know that you know what you know
Assuring a deep understanding between the speaker and someone else.
When I need a vacation from all of my ghosts
Seeking a break from haunting memories or regrets.

When my father finds out

If you're a thousand miles away
