Leaving Home

Cody Fry

I've lived a thousand place
I've looked for life in spaces
And empty rooms are all I've found

The world laid out before me
With everything I don't need
Just when I thought I had to place to leave

Home is like an island and I'm at sea
Trying to pull it out but it's pulling me
I could sail as far as the eye can see
Look behind and that island looks back at me
No matter how far I go, I can't leave my home

I spend my whole life chasing
But nothing's new and I'm tracing, tracing the lines right through the page
Yet I continue fighting
My pride is not surviving
Just when I thought that no one could save me

Home is like an island and I'm at sea
Trying to pull it out but it's pulling me
I could sail as far as the eye can see
Look behind and that island looks back at me
No matter how far I go, I can't leave my home

Home is like an island and I'm at sea
Trying to pull it out but it's pulling me
I could sail as far as the eye can see
Look behind and that island looks back at me
No matter how far I go,
No matter how far I go,
No matter how far I go,
I'm I can't leave my home
