Lyrics
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND WE HUNG SIDE BY SIDE
THE WHOLE WORLD WAS OURS FOR THE TAKING
THOSE INTIMATE TIMES LIKE AN INFINITE RIDE
CAN THE BONDS THAT WE MADE NOW BE BREAKING
CHORUS:
MOST DAYS OF LATE WE WATCH AND WAIT
HERE IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE
WHERE EVERYTHING AND ALL WE FEEL
HAS DISAPPEARED OR TURNED SURREAL
SO FACE THE CHANGE, EMBRACE UNREAL
I WISH THAT I WERE HOME
NOT IN THE GREAT UNKNOWN
LONG BACK AGO, EVERY HOPE AND EACH DREAM
FELT SURE AS THE DAWN FOLLOWED NIGHTTIME
WHEN ALL THAT WE’VE PRAYED FOR IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
DO WE CUT BAIT OR WAIT FOR THE RIGHT TIME
CHORUS:
FEEL LIKE A STRANGER TO THOSE I’VE KNOWN BEST
WHO ONCE READ MY MIND WITHOUT TRYING
THEIR EVERY BREATH MATCHED THE BEAT IN MY CHEST
ARE THE TETHERS THAT HELD US UNTYING
CHORUS:
I WISH THAT I WERE HOME
NOT IN THE GREAT UNKNOWN
