Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The dimmin' of the light makes the picture clearer
It's just an old photograph, there's nothin' to hide
When the world was just beginnin'
I memorized a face so it's not forgotten
I hear the wind whistlin', come back anytime
And we'll mix our lives together
[Verse 2]
Heaven knows what keeps mankind alive
Every hand goes searchin' for its partner
In crime under chairs and behind tables
Connecting to places we have known
I'm lookin' for a
[Verse 3]
Home, where the wheels are turning, home, why I keep returning
Home, where my world is breaking in two
Home, with the neighbors fighting, home, always so exciting
Home, where my parents tellin' the truth
[Verse 4]
Home, such a funny feeling, home, no one ever speaking
Home, with our bodies touching, home, and the cameras watching
Home will infect what ever you do
Were home comes to life from out of the blue
[Verse 5]
Tiny little boats on a beach at sunset
I took a drink from a jar and into my head
Familiar smells and flavors
Vehicles are stuck on the plains of heaven
I see their wheels spinnin' round and everywhere
I can hear those people sayin'
[Verse 6]
And the eye is the measure of the man
You can fly from the stuff that still surrounds you
We're home and the band keeps marchin' on
Connecting to every living soul
Compassion for things I'll never know
