Back Home Lyrics - Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard

Don't know 

What I was looking for 

When I went home 

I found me alone 

And sometimes 

I need someone to say you'll be all right 

What's on your mind? 

But the water's shallow here 

And I am full of fear 

And empty handed after two long years 

Another sunny day in California 

I'm sure back home they'd love to see it 

But what they don't know is 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 I'm not too sure 

Cause sometimes 

I miss knowing someone's 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 California 

I'm sure back home they'd love to see it 

But what they don't know that what you love is ripped away 

Before you get a chance to feel it 

Everybody here is living life in fear 

Of falling out alive 

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 

I'll be just fine 

Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky 

Sometimes I wish that it would rain here 

And wash the west coast dreaming from my eyes 

There's nothing real for them to see here 

Another starry night in California 

I'm sure back home they'd love to see it 

But they don't know that what you love is ripped away 

Before you get a chance to feel it
