Departures - The Home Stretch lyrics

My fair-weather friend
I can never tell if I'm
Happy to see you again
Those familiar roads seem to welcome me
They show me the way home
Is this where I need to be?

My teenage haze spent under these dim lights
The came and went too fucking fast
The tears dry in too quickly
And the laughs die away
Am I the only one left here?

I've seen ghosts of my
Youth haunt this place
Like someone walking by your window
I only barely recognise his face
Only a glance at something you
Thought that you once knew
Like someone walking by your window
They disappear to quickly



This can't be a dead end town
At least not for me
It's not something that I give in to
This place will never become just
Another word for regret

So should we drink up and say
Our goodbyes through gritted teeth?

My teenage haze spent under these dim lights
The came and went too fucking fast
I've seen ghosts of my
Youth haunt this place
Like someone walking by your window
I only barely recognise his face

Will we ever tell our story of how
We made it out our old lives?
