Back to Where I Started

Took a one way flight just to see something new Now the skyline feels like a room with no view Concrete rivers, strangers' faces Lost in places I once wanted to I swore I'd never look behind me But lately, every sign reminds me I took a long way, now I'm right back here Tracing my steps through the wasted years Thought I'd find myself in the space between But every mile just brought me back to me I've been gone way too long Guess I just needed to restart it Find my way back to where I started Phone calls echo through an empty room Mom still asks if I'm coming home soon I'd fake a smile, say I love it here But I'd trade it all to be sleeping next to you I swore I'd never look behind me But lately, every sign reminds me I took a long way, now I'm right back here Tracing my steps through the wasted years Thought I'd find myself in the space between But every mile just brought me back to me I've been gone way too long Guess I just needed to restart it Find my way back to where I started All the roads I had were leading nowhere And every dream I had just feel so hollow Guess I had to lose it all to know that Home's the only place that I wanna follow I took a long way, now I'm right back here Tracing my steps through the wasted years Thought I'd change, thought I'd be someone new But all along all I needed was you
