Lyrics
Worlds away you said you?d never be gone. You said you?d be there. You?d never be gone.
Here I stay while you just string me along. I must be crazy. You string me along.
But though I know I?m lazy and though we?re worlds away,
I?ll pack my bags today. I?m going home.
Sounds of laughter used to carry us on. Now I don?t hear it. The laughter is gone.
Who were you to change the plans that we?d made, without discussion ... the plans that we made?
And now I know it?s crazy that I?m still here today.
I can?t go on this way. I?m going home.
Chorus:
Words of wisdom stick for just a minute.
Rules of thumb might get you through the day.
Who can see this world before they?re in it?
You just begin it. And then you pray.
?No, no, no!? you said, it couldn?t go wrong. You just denied it. It couldn?t go wrong.
Why, oh, why should I have waited so long? I couldn?t see it. I waited too long.
And though my thoughts are hazy, I know the price I?ve paid
for holding on this way. I?m going home.
Chorus:
Words of wisdom stick for just a minute.
Rules of thumb might get you through the day.
Who can see this world before they?re in it?
You just begin it. And then you pray.
Worlds away you said you?d never be gone. You said you?d be there. You?d never be gone.
Here I stayed while you just strung me along. ?Cause I was crazy, you strung me along.
And though I know I?m lazy and though I?m worlds away,
I?ve packed my bags today. I?m going home. I?m going home.
