On My Way Back Home

Thanks for the lyrics!

This song reminds me of the setting of the movie Adventureland.....sort of the teenage youth in small town America.

The tile of this song is "On My Way Back Home". I was just about to resubmit the lyrics when I noticed this hiding down the list. Also, a small correction: "word" in the 5th line should be "words".

On my way back home a chance I thought of all my favorite songs and where I'd gone wrong the only words that I could think of I'm pissing my life away in the form of a song On my way back home

Every step a victory it was I was cheating death And just in time I would My memory would start to wander off and come to me the remembrance of on my way back home

I came in this way in here now I'll stay If the unknown will have to wait one more day 'Cause often times then it comes out wrong but luckily I got a mind to know On my way back home

haha, sorry I posted it twice.

Best song from the Infinite Arms album. It reminds me of my childhood and makes me want to visit the place where I grew up. Miss it, but love the song.

Great song though very similar to the Beach Boys song 'slope john B'. listen to it you'll see what i meant

Frontman Ben Bridwell (From The Skinny): "A lot of people reference the Beach Boys with this song without us even telling them that when we went to mix it we actually went to the studio where the Beach Boys recorded Pet Sounds."

I kind of think the line in the second verse is, "I was cheating death, and just in time I won." This lyric says 'would' and a bunch of other sites say 'woke.' In context, I think 'won' is most appropriate. Love the song!!!

First verse suggests the song writer taking a public mode of transportation, (i.e.; train, subway) comfortable and contemplating song lyrics on his “way back home.” Second verse suggests he nods off to sleep and finds himself dreaming a child like dream of heroism. And like so many of us, before he meets doom within this dream (“and just in time I woke...”), he suddenly awakens. And as he comes to his senses, he remembers where he’s at, where he’s going, on “his way back home.” Third verse has me a little stumped...
