Lyrics
Taking the Wrong Way Home
There's too much happening in our lives
Everything's a conflict
I feel in prison when I'm at home
You're the guard, I'm the convict
It gets so bad I try to find
Excuses to be on my own
Sometimes I even find myself
Taking the wrong way home
Why do we always have to fight
You take, there's no giving
I'm always wrong, you're always right
There must be a better way of living
It gets so bad I try to find
Excuses to be on my own
Sometimes I even find myself
Taking the wrong way home
Bridge:
I'm hoping that I'll find a place
That's more welcoming and safe
Somewhere I'd want to be
Without what happens between you and me
I have to leave, I must escape
Try to get my life back
There must be a better way than this
That's something I must aim at
Maybe I'll find some peace of mind
I don't have to be alone
And maybe I'll never find myself
Taking the wrong way home
