[Verse 1]
We said way too much
I should of stayed in that time
Now crashing sweeps right on by
And I just did think of my childhood then
The way that I leaped through reality when
It was alright
[Pre-Chorus]
But I fear for you son
That place is not your home
[Chorus]
But when I woke up inside
And I felt the blue velvet
Feelings of that same old place
Now on the train I roll back
But my mind's on that distant sun
[Verse 2]
I make that trip to the old place
Where we kissed and played out ‘till late
The door was open so I could see
The sight was wrong and new to me
[Pre-Chorus]
But I fear for you son
That place is not your home
[Chorus]
But when I woke up inside
And I felt the blue velvet
Feelings of that same old place
Now on the train I roll back
But my mind's on that distant sun
[Pre-Chorus]
And I fear for you son
That place is not your home
[Outro]
I feel the moment in time
But I shouldn't come back here again
'Cause in the end it's alright
And I know that I'll feel love again
