Upon Returning

I can understand to a certain extent
The camaraderie and mass appeal
But the feelings you hold
You got 'em under control
Make me realize how much you have grown
I can understand what you meant
That very few could even deal
With the possible delivery of stone
Make me realize you’re on your own
You’re on your own
I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better
I can lie, I can lie if it gives you pleasure
You’ll be fine, you’ll be fine if we do it together
But, I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better
Please know I’ll be here when you return
I can understand to a certain extent
What you’re going through and how you feel
But the stories you’ve told and the pictures you’ve shown
Make me realize you’re on your own
You’re on your own
I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better
I can lie, I can lie if it gives you pleasure
You’ll be fine, you’ll be fine if we do it together
But, I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better
Please know I’ll be here when you return
Please know I’ll be here when you return
But upon returning
Nothing makes sense
It’s more affirming than the place you just left
Everyone’s living
Everyone’s working
Everything’s so deceiving
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better
I can lie, I can lie if it gives you pleasure
You’ll be fine, you’ll be fine if we do it together
But, I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better
Please know I’ll be here when you return
Please know I’ll be here when you return
Please know I’ll be here when you return
Please know I’ll be here when you return
