Soundgarden - Been Away Too Long lyrics

You can't go home, no, I swear you never can
You can walk a million miles and get nowhere
I got nowhere to go ever since I came back
Just filling in the lines from
The holes to the cracks yeah!

No one knows me no one saves me
No one loves or hates me

I've been away for too long

This place has a special
Kind of falling apart
Like they put the whole thing
Together in the dark
No one knows where the edge of the knife is
And no one knows where intelligent life is
Yeah!

No one knows me no one saves me
No one loves or hates me

But it's fate
I only ever really wanted a break
I’ve been away for too long
Though I never really wanted to stay
I’ve been away for too long

I've been away for too long
I've been away for too long

Kilos through key holes
Widows through windows
Pilots through eyelets everyone is silent
Tankards and flagons and snifters and
Flutes on my way home

But it's fate
I only ever really wanted a break
I’ve been away for too long
Though I never really wanted to stay
I’ve been away, but it's fake

I only ever really wanted a break
I’ve been away for too long
Though I never really wanted to stay
I’ve been away for too long (yeah)
