Back Home (Acoustic)

Dont know what I was looking for when I went home, I found me alone
And sometimes I need someone to say, ''Youll be all right. Whats on your mind?''
But the waters shallow here and I am full of fear, and empty handed after two long years
Another sunny day in Californ-i-a
Im sure back home theyd love to see it
But they dont know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance to feel it
Back home I always thought I wanted so much more, now Im not too sure
Cause sometimes I miss knowing someones there for me and feeling free
Free to stand beside the ocean in moonlight
And light myself a smoke beneath the dark Atlantic sky
Another sunny day in Californ-i-a
Im sure back home theyd love to see it
But they dont know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance, before you get a chance to feel it
Everybody here is living life in fear of falling out of line
Tearing lives apart and breaking lots of hearts just to pass the time
And the eyes get red in the back of your head, this place will make you blind
Put it all behind me and Ill be just fine
Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky
Sometimes I wish that it would rain here
And wash away the west coast dreaming from my eyes
Theres nothing real for them to see here
Another starry night in Californ-i-a
Im sure back home theyd love to see it
But they dont know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance, before you get a chance to feel it
