about

This track sums up the mixed feelings of being out in the world, certain of wildness, but uncertain about what that means. Certain too that going back, going "home" is not an option, but acknowledging that it is the lingering wistful desire.

I think it happens to a lot of us when we are past the revelry of initial discovery and are deep into the actual doing of life.

lyrics

Let me take a while, like 27 years
to figure it out what I'm supposed to hear...

far from home, nowhere near.

I know what you want, but you can't go home from here.

Let me take a while like 27 years ,
round and round, hands to your ears.
All the time you spent trying to make an escape
left your home, couldn't wait.

I know what you want, but you can't go home from here.
