It`s been a while since I`ve left home
But I`m coming on back today
Kinda funny but I picture it only exactly as it
Was back in the day
Sure enough when the train pulls in
There`s so little that I recognize
Is it the scenery or my selective memory
Or just a simple fact that I gotta realize
My friends have gone and their lives have
Moved on and I guess that`s just the way it is
If this town has grown beyond my home
I guess it all comes down to this
I close my eyes and feel like
it was back in the day
But those times have long been through
The dying of the light is gone
but it`s back in the day
Like a wish that comes half true
There was a time when it was easy to find a
Hangout that you knew was yours by name
And mine or not I could find the same spot but
It`s never gonna be the same
I`ve been away and I`ve seen too much
Looks like I`ve been moving on as well
And when I started to not really belong
I suppose I was unable to tell
But I ain`t sad and no it isn`t bad
It`s just one more thing I`m coming to know
If you`re alive you didn`t finish the ride
No telling where it`s going to go
I close my eyes and feel like
it was back in the day
But those times have long been through
The dying of the light is gone
but it`s back in the day
Like a wish that comes half true
It`s been a while since I left home
But I`m coming on back today
Kinda funny but I picture it only exactly as it
Was back in the day
I close my eyes and feel like
it was back in the day
But those times have long been through
The dying of the light is gone
but it`s back in the day
Like a wish that comes half true
I close my eyes and feel like
it was back in the day
But those times have long been through
The dying of the light is gone
but it`s back in the day
Like a wish that comes half true?
