Familiar Ground

[Verse 1]
How can you look me in the eye
And tell me everything's alright?
Like a passerby (Like a passerby)
You said I'm welcome anytime
But motivation's hard to find
When I'm stuck inside (When I'm stuck inside)
I wasn't always like that
Do you remember?

[Chorus]
Sittin' on my roof with the fear of fallin' off
Or in your room with the bedroom door locked
I don't know where I am goin'
Thinkin' I should go but wishin' I could stay
Ain't it funny how it always worked out that way?
How we always walked on

[Verse 2]
It's been a long time since I've felt
That familiar ground of my favorite town
And while I fight to get back
They all fight to get out
I've got so much to tell you
Do you believe it now that I'm safe and sound?
And I'd like to think you can hear me
But I've sure got my doubts
And we never had closure, but I'm so sure
You won't forget where you belong
Do you remember?

[Chorus]
Sittin' on my roof with the fear of fallin' off
Or in your room with the bedroom door locked
I don't know where I am goin'
Thinkin' I should go but wishin' I could stay
Ain't it funny how it always worked out that way?
How we always walked on

[Bridge]
How can you look me in the eye
And tell me everything's alright?
Like a passerby

[Chorus]
Sittin' on my roof with the fear of fallin' off
(Tonight, if we are the authors of our lives)
Or in your room with the bedroom door locked
(Explain those brokenhearted nights I didn't write)
I don't know where I am goin'
(Do you remember the time)
Thinkin' I should go but wishin' I could stay
(We had a drink and we all sang by the fire?)
Ain't it funny how it always worked out that way?
(Can I just stay there?)
How we always walked on
(Stay there)

[Outro]
How can you look me in the eye
And tell me time is on our side?
