count / the rings / of the trees / you drop
recite / the words / of a friend / you lost
let night / unroll / beneath / your feet
you’re free / to roam
say: ‘I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go... home

forget / the times / you just / skimmed by
what fate / can’t see / she can’t / decide
now time / is foe / makes dust / of bones
pick up / the phone
say: ‘I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go... home

I open my mouth and contradictions flutter out
I am trying to stay calm but I just want to shout

recite / the words / of a friend / you lost
you're free to roam
say: ‘I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go... home
