Electric Daylight Going Home Lyrics

Children, don’t you feel so alone
Run back to your mommy and daddy at home
For so long you’ll think this house is so safe
One day you learn you gotta get out of this place

It’s much worse than you thought before
They’re knocking down your bedroom door
Already know where you’ll end up
Soon they’ll see you knew yourself

Because you’re going home
Leaving them behind their doors
Take me to the only place I’ve never known
When I’m no longer yours

Children vanish like tracks in the snow
Those pathways we refuse to follow
Pretending nothing could befall this house
We make believe this home is truly ours

I’m not the child you think I am We never end where we began
I’ve learned for myself right from wrong
This is not where I belong

I will be going home
Leaving them behind their doors
Take me to the only place I’ve never known
When I’m no longer yours

Dear Mama it’s not the warmth I regret
18 years of a roof over my head
What I need to show some respect
I’ll show you that I won’t end up dead

Not now because you’re going home
Leaving them behind their doors
Take me to the only place I’ve never known
When I’m no longer yours
I was never yours
