Homecoming
Original Broadway Cast featuring Green Day Lyrics

My heart is beating from me
I am feeling anxious and lost.

I am standing all alone
I am feeling lonely and unsupported.

Please call me only if you are coming home
I need your support and comfort right now.

Waste another year flies by
Another year is passing me by without any progress.

Waste a night or two
I am wasting my time and not achieving anything in the process.

You taught me how to live
You showed me how to navigate the streets of shame.

In the streets of shame
I am living in a place where my dreams have been lost and I've hit rock bottom.

Where you've lost your dreams in the rain
The place where you've lost all hope and there's no sign of a better future.

There's no signs of hope
The only thing left is the residual remnants of the hope that was once there.

The stems and seeds of the last of the dope
All that is left is the leftovers of a life that has slipped away.

There's a glow of light
There is a flicker of hope and a ray of light in the darkness.

The Saint Jimmy is the spark in the night
Saint Jimmy is someone who lights up the darkness and brings hope to the lost.

Bearing gifts and trust
Saint Jimmy comes bearing gifts and bringing hope to those who have lost their way.

The fixture in the city of lust
Saint Jimmy is a beacon of hope and a constant presence in a place where there is only temptation and sin.

What the hell's your name?
Who are you and what is your story?

What's your pleasure and what is your pain?
What brings you joy and what causes you to suffer?

Do you dream too much?
Do you have unrealistic expectations and desires?

Do you think what you need is a crutch?
Are you trying to find a quick fix or temporary solution to your problems?

In the crowd of pain Saint Jimmy comes without any shame
When everyone else is lost in their suffering and shame, Saint Jimmy stands tall and brings hope.

He says, "We're fucked up" and we're not the same
Saint Jimmy acknowledges that we are all broken and lost, but he is the one who is different because he found a way forward.

And mom and dad are the ones you can blame
Our parents are the ones responsible for shaping us and our future.

Jimmy died today
Saint Jimmy has passed on, leaving behind the memories of his guidance and hope.

He blew his brains out into the bay
Saint Jimmy chose to end his life, much to the shock and sadness of those he helped.

In this state of mind, it's my own private suicide
When I am in this state of despair and hopelessness, it feels like suicide is my only option.

Well, nobody cares
No one seems to care about me or my problems.

Does anyone care if nobody cares?
Is there anyone out there who cares about me and my wellbeing?

Jesus is filling out paperwork now
Even Jesus is busy with the mundane tasks of life, such as filling out paperwork.

At the facility on East 12th Street
Jesus is at work, doing his job at a facility on East 12th Street.

He's not listening to a word now
Jesus is too busy to be listening to me or anyone else.

He's in his own world and he's daydreaming
Jesus is lost in his own thoughts and fantasies.

He'd rather be doing something else now
Jesus is not satisfied with his current situation and wishes he were doing something else with his life.

Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly
Jesus wishes he were hanging out with the edgier, more rebellious crowd.

His life's on the line with anxiety now
Jesus is feeling the pressure and anxiety of his life situation.

She had enough and he had plenty
One person had too much while the other had just enough to get by.

Somebody get me out of there
I am desperate to escape from this situation.

Anybody get me out of there
Anyone who can help me escape, please do so!

Somebody get me out of here
I need to leave this place and these troubles behind.

Get me the fuck right out of there
Get me out of this situation as quickly as possible!

So far away
The solution to my problems seems so distant and unattainable right now.

I don't wanna stay
I don't want to remain in this place any longer.

Get me out of here right now
I need to leave this place immediately.

I just wanna be free
I want to be free of my problems and live a life of happiness and fulfillment.

Is there a possibility?
Is there any chance for me to achieve my dreams and live the life I want?

This life like dream ain't for me
I don't want to live this life anymore and I feel like it's all just a bad dream.

I fell asleep while watching Spike TV
I am so exhausted and drained that I fell asleep while doing something as simple as watching TV.

After ten cups of coffee
Even after ingesting a large quantity of caffeine, I am still feeling tired and hopeless.

And you're still not here
I am missing someone important who is not with me right now.

Dreaming of a song
I am imagining a better life and better things to come, but it's just a dream.

But something went wrong
Something unexpected happened and my dream feels unattainable now.

'Cause no one's here
I am all alone and there is no one to help me or share in my struggles.

Left me here alone
I have been left behind by others and am isolated.

And I should have stayed home
I made a mistake and should have stayed put instead of going out and experiencing these problems.

After ten cups of coffee I'm thinking
Even after reaching the point of over-caffeinating, I am still lost in thought and introspection.

Where'd you go
Where is the person who I am missing and needs to be with me right now?

Nobody likes you
I am feeling rejected and alone in my problems.

Everyone left you (where'd you go)
Those who I thought were there for me seem to have all abandoned me now.

They're all out without you havin' fun (where'd you go)
Everyone else seems to be enjoying life while I am stuck in my problems and suffering.

We're the ones going Home We're coming home again
We are returning to our roots and to a place where we belong.

I started fuckin' running As soon as my feet touched ground We're back in the barrio And to you and me, that's Jingle Town, that's Home (no, fuck you, just go, I don't care, I don't, I don't)
I wasted no time in leaving my old life behind and coming back to my roots in the barrio, even if others don't agree with my decision.

We're coming home again (no, fuck you, just go, I don't care, I don't, I don't)
Even if others don't understand or care, we are returning to where we belong and where we will be happiest.
