Lyrics
I'm sitting in a foreign setting
Bands in background always play
Phony, lonely, California
I guess it has to be this way
'Cause I chose to roam (Yeah, yeah)
And spend time alone (Yeah, yeah)
Only when I come home (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I find I always think about you
Especially now you're not on hand
The world seems through the bottom of a rose-coloured glass
Red noises from there
But don't expect to understand
'Cause I chose to roam (Yeah, yeah)
And spend time alone (Yeah, yeah)
Only when I come home (Yeah, yeah)
When living over confrontation
I'd like to set your mind at ease
But stuck here in the middle ages
I find the words won't leave
Where do you go?
Your open eyes say no one home
I wonder when there's no one there
Does the child that you were creep near?
You were proud
Scary things I've always vowed
I'm definitely very grateful it's a time of change
It's lonely but I can't complain
'Cause I chose to roam (Yeah, yeah)
And spend time alone (Yeah, yeah)
Only when I come home (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
