won't someone take me home...
just take me home...

I don't fit into this place,
have no purpose here, no reason to live,
lost my way a long long time ago
now there's nowhere to run, nowhere to go
just my shadow cast behind me.

won't someone take me home
take me home with them tonight
I don't fit into this place,
can't you just turn off the light?

when the choice comes down to it
i'm indecisive
numb away the feelings, swallow them whole
a walking zombie, I forget who I am
can't you just take me home
somewhere that I belong?

I can't continue on this way
it comes closer...
brighter everygoddamn day
I can't say how long i'll be here
all my training got me nowhere.

and I don't like the way I disapoint
but baby you know i don't mean to,
i just can't fight it anymore, 
feels like i'm dying each day I stay inside here.
won't you just take me home, i can't remember the way.

i'm scared shitless of this light
and yet there's nothing else that feels as right
but baby please
i don't want to live in stasis,
please just show me where i came from
take me back to where I was me.

my head's so foggy, i can't think straight
i just know that something's not in place anymore
i think i lost my way, way before I ever laid eyes on you
I think i took a wrong turn back there
but the winds blew so strongly and erased my steps
and I turned and turned and still turn
but i can't see where i'm going, right or left.
won't someone just take me home.
