Lyrics
Broken up on New Year?s Eve, the band plays a sad song
Missing you at midnight, watching other couples kiss
Now the band plays a fast song but my mood does not improve
I?m sad and I?m lonely and the only cure is you
When you leave home, it disowns you, old ties fall away
Upon return you?re a stranger lost in a familiar place
My old friends all have new friends and I don?t fit in
It?s true, you can?t go home again
I thought that I should get away, might find that I?ve been missed
Home for the holidays should never be like this
This is not my home now, my home should be with you
This is just a place where I misspent my youth
When I left home, it disowned me, turned its back on another stray
On my return I?m a stranger behind a familiar face
My old friends haven?t replaced me yet, but I have lost my place
It?s true, you can?t go home again
When you leave home, it moves on too ? on to another day
Try to return you?re a stranger and a stranger is in your place
My old friends all have new friends, so where do I begin?
It?s true, you can?t go home again
Yes, it?s true, you can?t go home again
It?s true, you can?t go home again
