lyrics

When your knuckles are white cuz you been grabbin at ghosts
When the party's changed an you don't know the host
When you've wandered farther than you ever meant to go
Look back all you want but just don't play pretend
Cuz you can't go home, no you can't go home again

When the castles cave in and the compass says that you're there
When you have no choice but to hang up your armor and care
Put down your phone and taste what hangs in the air
Hope who you treated well will still remain your friend
Cuz you can't go home, no you can't go home again

Everything dies they tell me that's a fact
An you're no different you shoulda known that
But lyin on your deathbed will surely change your act
Your blessing isn't worth as much now that everything has changed
And you can't go home, no you can't go home again

When your countin your coins and you start to come up short
When your coffer's empty, and so is your once-loyal court
When all the guards have decided to abandon your fort
Just hope you bought some sympathy with all the money that you spent
Cuz you can't go home, no you can't go home again

When the storm's comin in and you're hangin on for dear life
Grab for the ropes nobody's gonna ask you twice
When mutiny is in and they gamble for your shirt with dice
When your ships are out to sea, and they ain't never comin back in
And you can't go home, no you can't go home again.
