Far From Home
Ferrin & Morris and Aneym Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm lonely, But I can't go back
It's all giving me a couple of flashbacks
I'm great, Yeah I'm fine
Cause I've got a home away from home
Yeah I'm lonely, but I can't go back
Everybody wants me, Once I'm gone
Playing me, Like I'm some type of pawn
Shoulda loved me, Before I left

So stop wishing I was there
I'm lonely, But I can't go back
It's all giving me a couple of flashbacks
I'm great, Yeah I'm fine
Cause I've got a home away from home
I could lie, And say I miss it
But let me clarify, I have absolutely no desire
To reminisce, To reminisce, On this wildfire
I guess, Your not really living
I'm lonely, But I can't go back
It's all giving me a couple of flashbacks
I'm great, Yeah I'm fine
Cause I've got a home away from home
I'm lonely, But I can't go back
It's all giving me a couple of flashbacks

I'm lonely, But I can't go back
Cause I've got a home away from home
