Back Home Lyrics by Elby Faser

Crossing Hermi’s Bridge

2020

People around me are drowning in deadlines
And I'm all alone at my desk late at night
They're getting drunk on the stress and the chaos
And my only high is staring at the city lights
Cold souls in trench coats stare through me
As they ride the 6 back to their families and friends
The train makes a stop and I get off
It's only eight hours 'til the next lifeless day begins

Take me back home
They told me to fly and I've flown
I need the place
Where the girl at the drugstore knows my name by heart
Remembers the items in my shopping cart
Back home
Despite the sharp curves in the road
I could drive fine
With eyes closed to the key hid under the rock
And I know just which way to jiggle the lock
Back home

They told me to reach for the stars
But they're a lot farther than I ever thought they'd be
And I'm disconnected from all that's familiar
From all that I love still tethered to me
They call me for all of the updates
I smile through the phone and tell them that everything's fine
The grilled cheese at the diner is never as good as
The one Dad made me on a Sunday night

Take me back home
They told me to fly and I've flown
I need the place
Where the girl at the drugstore knows my name by heart
Remembers the items in my shopping cart
Back home
Across the blue bridge down the road
I could drive fine
With eyes closed to the key hid under the rock
And I know just which way to jiggle the lock
Back home
