[Verse 1]
It's been long since I've been home
And like a dream these thoughts return to me
Remember how it felt although
I forget the names, and faces are strangers now
[Verse 2]
It's been hard since I've been gone
Watching from afar and growing further apart
I am here to let you know
I'm aware of the days, and now it's time to go home
[Verse 3]
I've stayed the path
One that I understand where I am
Ignored the cages set before
And chose the life that I was offered
[Pre-Chorus]
The page forever altered, songs left unsung
The destination onward is still unknown
(Oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Outside the world keeps turning 'round
(I give everything I have)
Inside the rain is crashing down
(I give everything now)
[Post-Chorus]
I give everything I have
[Verse 2]
Play innocent
Acting indifferent when it ends
The world's a stage, we play our parts
Then take our exit with heavy hearts
[Pre-Chorus]
The page forever altered, songs left unsung
The destination onward is still unknown
(Oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Outside the world keeps turning 'round
(I give everything I have)
Inside the rain is crashing down
(I give everything now)
Sometimes we have to face things alone
(I give everything I have)
The miles of highways stretching
Are unrelenting, separating us
(I give everything now)
[Bridge]
Now words are phrased
Between ones and zeros
And our late, what is it?
Is it destiny, a destiny we follow?
Are we blind, chasing time
With regrets and sorrow?
Now the road draws me back
Home will have to wait
Embrace the time we borrow
[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Outside the world keeps turning 'round
(I give everything I have)
Inside the rain is crashing down
(I give everything now)
Sometimes we have to face things alone
(I give everything I have)
The miles of highways stretching
Are unrelenting, separating us (Everything I have)

To me, this song is about knowing what’s coming and questioning what is ahead. It’s as if you question what’s coming, but it doesn’t matter because it’s coming anyway. It’s not something you can really get ready for. After I wrote it, I realized that it’s about what’s happening with the band, and on...
