Home Again – Robbie Williams

Despite the land, the thousand miles
Your smile had reached an all-time low
And all the curtains drew on my old street again
A chance to pawn the photograph
That told the story of our class
A basketing of promises of future days

I didn’t mean to let you know
I accidentally dialed the number
The words you heard were someone else
A circumstance that took me under
Time and time again I tried
But all the buttons pressed would broke
To make it through to your receiver
I can’t find the words I spoke
But now the clouds are only smoke I’m through
But any time soon

I guess I’ll find a way to ride a train back home again
Outside the paperstands are blowing and I’m down
Until the silence of the engine turns to steam and then
We’re home again

Stumbling to folks I swerved
The entities are all reserved
And conversations limited, unpleasantly
A staring to my suitcase hold
My cup of tea’s already cold
Happy on escaping these old memories

We couldn’t wait to set a day
To knock on doors and run away
And someone went beyond us all
In baggy fields we knew the answer
Only problem was the question
We didn’t even need to ask
So simple in our own conception
But that was also long ago
In a place I used to know so well
But any time soon

I guess I’ll find a way to ride a train back home again
Outside the paperstands are blowing and I’m down
Until the silence of the engine turns to steam and then
We’re home again
