Lyrics
Verse 1
Reaching out reaching In
Turn it out once again
To those who win
As we begin
Verse 2
Empty roads and easy streets
You got a taste of bittersweet
Lock the door
Just like before
Refrain
I wish I was home again
Verse 3
Drink champagne in limousines
Plastic smiles, so pristine
Just like you see
In the magazines
Verse 4
An endless stream of restless dreams
You work two jobs just to make ends meet
Over time
Through the grime
Refrain
I wish I was home again
Solo
Verse 5
Pray for love and long for change
Seeking hope, you play the game
Yet you find
More of the same
Refrain
I wish I was home again
I wish I could begin again
