The Road Back Home

Look at this dust on the dashboard and glass
Reminds me how the seasons used to pass
I remember that bridge by the edge of town
Before the old factory was broken down
We swore we'd leave and never look back
But every heart leaves a little track
And I'm still holding on to the ghost of a dream
Nothing is ever as plain as it seems

Every mile, every scar, every sunset drive
Just a kid feeling lucky to be alive
I'd give it all to go back for a day
To the nights that we threw all our fears away
Yeah, it's hard to let go when you've come so far
But you can't forget who the hell you are

Found her in a box under the bed
All those promises that we once said
I wonder if you ever think of that place
Or if time has wiped the smile off your face
We were kings of a world made of dirt and stone
Now we're just strangers on a mobile phone

Every mile, every scar, every sunset drive
Just a kid feeling lucky to be alive
I'd give it all to go back for a day
To the nights that we threw all our fears away
Yeah, it's hard to let go when you've come so far
But you can't forget who the hell you are

It's funny how the time just slips away
It's funny how we're still the same

Look at this dust on the glass
Yeah, we're never going back
