Pack My Bags To Go Home - Emily Silvester

I went home for the first time since I left
I realize it's really easy to forget
Who you are and where you came from
When your freshman year and life have just begun
And when the plane touched down I was a tourist
A feeling I had never felt before this
And when I have to pack my bags to go home
I never felt so alone, never felt so alone

When did I lose my way
It seems like yesterday, seems like yesterday
When I would try everything
Just to get away, just to get away

The first thing I did was drive down to the shore
Where the Atlantic hits the Bedford Basin floor
When I was gone I longed for the salty breeze
The thought of it brings me to my knees
I saw a new sign I'd never seen before
Reminisced as I passed the old corner store
Where we spent our nights together free from stress
We acted tough and smoked cigarettes

When did I lose my way
It seems like yesterday, seems like yesterday
When I would try everything
Just to get away, just to get away

It didn't feel like the home I know
I was only gone for a month or so
I seemed so different it seemed so strange
But I realize it was me that changed
It's been so long since I've seen your face
It hurts so bad that I've cried for days
I went home and I don't wanna go back
I never knew it would feel like that
I'm sorry
