Far From Home
Revelation Theory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found my way back home
Everything's gone and changed, but me
I want to play back
Every word and sound
To show you

I want a real life
So I broke away from here
Until I feel it
I feel nothing at all

And I'm telling you
I'm sorry
Everything has changed
And I'm telling you
I'm sorry
Nothing I can do

I want my world back
I can't fix what is done
It's over
Can you see it
All the faults that I have

I'm sorry
I can't remember
The last time you called
I waited until I feel it
I feel nothing at all

And I'm telling you
I'm sorry
Everything has changed
And I'm telling you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I can't believe it
All the things I've missed
Can't you see all the ways I've changed

I want to witness
Everything you have
Covered inside my own mistakes.

And I'm telling you
I'm sorry
Everything has changed
And I'm telling you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry





I found my way back home
Everything's gone and changed, but me
