My Way Home Is Through
My Chemical Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tear apart all of my insides
When they rifle in
Mom and Dad think you'll be saved
They never had the time
They gonna medicate your lives
You were always born a crime
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her arms
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her er er er er
Among us, you'll find seven different shades of shit
So what's your favorite color, punk?
You wanna hold my hand
Could you sign this photograph
'cause I'm your biggest fan
Would you leave me lyin' here?
Well I'm here to pay a compliment
And sing about the government
Oxycontin genocide
Adolescent suicide
Give me my sincerity
Don't give a fuck about a Kennedy
Here's what I got to say:
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her arms
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her er er er er
Whoa oh oh
Way e ay e oh
Whoa oh oh
Way e ay e oh
OWWWW
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her arms
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her arms
Can't find the way
Can't find the way
Can't find the way yay yay yay yay
Can't find the way yay yay yay yay
C'mon, Angel, don't you cry
C'mon, Angel, don't you cry
C'mon, Angel, don't you cry
C'mon, Angel, don't you cry
