[Verse 1]
Thinking of things to do
Yeah, only the cheapest things left there for you
And the only thing I learned from you
Is that there's nothing left to look forward to and
I was asleep for days
And now you're the only thing keeping me awake
The calculator will make the same mistakes
Yeah, I see it in its face
[Verse 2]
Hold on tight to this time, this place
'Cause everything you know will be erased
You were born inside your head
And that is where you'll be when you are dead
You're just a boy, you are no man
And nobody you know will understand
You're just a boy, you are no man
And nobody you know will understand
[Chorus]
Welcoming you back home
The only one that you have ever known
Welcoming you back home
The only one that you will ever know
[Outro]
Haaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
