Can't Go Back Home - Mika Zibanejad

Standin' in the shadows The man I used to be I wanna go back (Can't go back, can't go back) Melodies awaken Sorrows from their sleep I wanna go back (Can't go back, can't go back) She was just a dream maker, Dreamer of sighs Shadow on the one who used to cry A face as soft as a tear in a clown's eye I wanna go back (Can't go back, can't go back) She was just a dream maker, Dreamer of sighs Shadow on the one who used to cry A face as soft as a tear in a clown's eye I wanna go back (Can't go back, can't go back)

Death came too quickly Knee-deep in your memory Guess you're really gone The fallout is still coming It won't stop for anything We keep pushing on Rise up and fight fate You can't go back You can't kill the past And, no, you can't go back and save the dead Or let the ashes build up in your head If you wanna fight, don't let those who died die for nothing 'Cause you can't go back You can't go back We tread too lightly Well, they won't get the best of me This is where it starts We are scarred, but not dying They've burnt every part of me From the ashes, rise You can't go back You can't kill the past And, no, you can't go back and save the dead Or let the ashes build up in your head If you wanna fight, don't let those who died die for nothing 'Cause you can't go back And the skeletons that live in our heads Are the monsters that lie beneath our beds And we'll rest when we're dead But we'll take these demons with us And we'll rest when we're dead But rise up and right because you can't go back You can't kill the past And, no, you can't go back and save the dead Or let the ashes build up in your head If you wanna fight, don't let those who died die for nothing 'Cause you can't go back No, you can't go back No And we'll rest when we're dead But we'll take these demons with us And we'll rest when we're dead But we'll take these demons with us

Is it like it seems?

I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place I was looking for something I couldn't replace I was running away from the only thing I've ever known Like a blind dog without a bone I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold I been there, done thatand I ain't lookin' back on the seeds I've sown, Saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone Who says you can't go home Who says you can't go home There's only one place they call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, who says you can't go home Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face There isn't one of these lines that I would erase I lived a million miles of memories on that road With every step I take I know that I'm not alone You take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home These are my streets, the only life I've ever known, Who says you can't go home Who says you can't go home There's only one place they call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, who says you can't go home Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright I been there, done thatand I ain't looking that It's been a long long road Feels like I never left, that's how the story goes It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter where you go If it's a million miles aways or just a mile up the road Take it in, take it with you when you go, Who says you can't go home Who says you can't go home There's only one place they call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, who says you can't go home Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright Who says you can't go home Who says you can't go home

Some things you can't go back to Some things need left alone Don't mess with the memories of a life passed on Oh, the tumbling reservations At the heart of my mistakes Oh, some things you can't go back to 'Cause you let them slip away I don't wanna be a witness To a path that's overgrown I don't wanna see this house not be a home 'Cause time has taken toll on what we couldn't see No, I don't wanna be a witness To the end of you and me How am I gonna make each moment Better than the last How am I gonna make it better If I can't go back Oh, the tumbling reservations At the heart of my mistakes Oh, some things you can't go back to 'Cause you let them slip away Oh, some things you can't go back to

I spent twenty years tryin' to get out of this place I was lookin' for somethin' I couldn't replace I was runnin' away from the only thing I've ever known And like a blind dog without a bone I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold I've been there, done that, now I ain't lookin' back And the seeds I've sown, savin' dimes Spendin' too much time on the telephone Who says you can't go home? Who says you can't go home? There's only one place that call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rollin' stone Who says you can't go home? Who says you can't go back? Been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one place left, I wanna go Who says you can't go home? It's alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face There isn't one of these lines that I would erase I left a million mile of memories on that road Every step I take, I know that I'm not alone You take the home from the boy but not the boy from his home These are my streets and only life I've ever known Who says you can't go home? Who says you can't go home? There's only one place that call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rollin' stone Who says you can't go home? Who says you can't go back?
