[Verse 1]
Say what you like
It's been two years a journey
I would call every night
Only silence returning (soft sad)
Warned about it all (staccato)
Growing cross the oceans
Living free, you built a wall
Now I'm lonely back in Oakland
[Pre-Chorus]
Lonely back in O
Lonely back in O
Lonely back in O
Lonely back in O
[Chorus]
Couldn't read you, did I
Miss the signs?
Cause I couldn't figure
Out why
Couldn't read you, did I
Cross the line?
Cause I couldn't figure
Out why
[Verse 2]
Questions and secrets and
Unraveling at the seams
And the world that you're fearing
Is the place that I'm meant to be
Warned about it all
Growing cross the oceans
Living free, you built a wall
Now I'm lonely back in Oakland
[Pre-Chorus]
Lonеly back in O
Lonely back in Oakland
Lonely back in O
Lonely back in Oakland
[Chorus]
Couldn't rеad you, did I
Miss the signs?
Cause I couldn't figure
Out why
Couldn't read you, did I
Cross the line?
Cause I couldn't figure
Out why
[Bridge]
Feelings crystallize
Not just something in my mind
Reasons come to light
You're meant to be by my side
[Chorus]
Couldn't read you, did I
Miss the signs?
Cause I couldn't figure
Out why
Couldn't read you, did I
Cross the line?
Cause I couldn't figure
Out why
Couldn't read you, did I
Miss the signs?
Cause I couldn't figure
Out why
Couldn't read you, did I
Cross the line?
Cause I couldn't figure
Out why
Couldn't read you, did I
Miss the signs?
Cause I couldn't figure
Out why
Couldn't read you, did I
Cross the line?
Cause I couldn't figure
Out why
