Guster - Homecoming King lyrics

On your way to the best years of your life

Everyone's banging on their gongs

The sooner you leave the sooner you're home

Back in Massachusetts

To your golden age where they tuck you in at night

You didn't see it coming

Now who you gonna wave to?

This time you're not homecoming king

Did you hear that?

Have you heard that sound before?

Do you even know where it is coming from?

Its getting too loud

It keeps on pushing you out

Into the arms of 1994

You didn't see it coming

Now who you gonna wave to?

You're not homecoming king

You stand on your own

wasn't what you hoped at all

Do you still recall it,

giving dead-arms in the hall?

Stay right where you are

You'll be half of who you were

When you always would win

So count the days till you give in

Back to massachusetts

To your golden age where your crown is shining bright

You didn't see it coming

Now who you gonna wave to?

This time you're not homecoming king

Did you see it coming?

Now who you gonna wave to?

This time you're not homecoming king
