Feelin sick once again

Id give anything

To be back home

Safe and warm inside



I cant stand the crowds

Or the smell that surrounds me

The cloth and key

Still preach chastity



Take me back so I can see

The way it used to be



I lay down and enter a dream

Unlike anywhere Ive been

All is silent and sweet



Then Im falling down to the ground

And Im lost from what Ive found

Cant stand the sounds no more



Take me back so I can see

The way it used to be

The way it used to be



Move me from the water

Too cold to swim

Bring me to the land

Move me from the water

That I see within

Bring me to the land



Radio waves

Splash through my head

To a rhythm that I crave

Radio waves

Relive the moment

Seems like yesterday



Take me back to twelve mile bay

Where Ill sit at the edge with my feet in the water

Take me back as the sun fades away

Break down the walls so I can breathe



Move me from the water

Too cold to swim

Bring me to the land

Move me from the water

That I see within

Bring me to the land



Move me from the water

Too cold to swim

Bring me to the land

Move me from the water

That I see within



The way it used to be

The way it used to be



Move me from the water

Too cold to swim

Bring me to the land

Move me from the water

That I see within

Bring me to the land



Move me from the water

Too cold to swim

Bring me to the land

Move me from the water

That I see within
