It's Not My Home - The Capelin

Things were spinnin' 'round me And all my thoughts were cloudy And I had begun to doubt all the things that were me Been in so many places, you know I've run so many races I looked into the empty faces of the people of the night Somethin' is just not right 'Cause I know that I've gotta get outta here I'm so alone Don't you know that I gotta get outta here 'Cause New York's not my home Though all the streets are crowded There's somethin' strange about it I lived there 'bout a year and I never once felt at home I thought I'd make the big time I learned a lot of lessons awfully quick And now I'm tellin' you that they were not the nice kind It has been so long since I have felt fine That's the reason that I've gotta get outta here I'm so alone Don't you know that I gotta get outta here 'Cause New York's not my home That's the reason that I've gotta get outta here I'm so alone Don't you know that I gotta get outta here 'Cause New York's not my home

I'm lost Without you It's the calm in the morning That becomes so unsettling Hanging on by a thread In this empty room that used to be full of life In the wake of your absence Nothing has been the same There is no brighter tomorrow Just a world where I learn to live without you You were my confidant, my rock The only piece of clarity And when the world cut to black You were always there to pull me out No one could ever feel like home The way you did (the way you did) When the walls were closing in You kept me safe Now you're gone but I'll still keep you with me Everywhere I go Like you're still holding tight to my chest now As you slowly drift to sleep You still exist in the very air that I breathe Permanence keeps you close to me If there's life after death, I will seek you out Find my way back to you If I knew that day was your last, you wouldn't know a second away from my arms If there's even a chance you can hear me please know that I love you As you passed in my embrace, I felt a part of me leave with you Please know that I will always love you I will always love you No one could ever feel like home (could feel like home) The way you did (the way you did) When the walls were closing in You kept me safe Now you're gone but I'll still keep you with me Everywhere I go Like you're still holding tight to my chest now As you slowly drift to sleep Please remember me
