Level 42 - The Way Back Home lyrics

Didn’t I tell you the way back home • Didn’t I warn you

to stay on the road • Didn’t I help you to understand

That life is just time passing thru your hands

There’s no easy path thru it • The truth is there is no truth

to it • Moving thru the spotlight • Don’t let the paparazzi

world define you • Now you’ve made your mark on it

I know you believed the hope of it • You know nobody

wins • It’s the way you lose that keeps it hopeful

Didn’t I tell you I will be there • Didn’t I show you

I really care

You spoke of your plans for it • You talked all about your

destiny • I could see the rain clouds • But I couldn’t stop

the rain from falling • You tried to go way beyond it

You’d already made the most of it • Nothing wrong with

dreaming • Just don’t fool yourself about the meaning

Didn’t I tell you the way back home • Didn’t I warn you

to stay on the road • Didn’t I help you to understand

That life is just time passing thru your plans

You say that you can’t let go of it • That your life only

works because of it • You’re afraid that you can’t hold on

to it • But your heart doesn’t seem so sold on it • Why not

try to believe the heart of it • Why not try to perceive the

art in it • Why not let me be more a part of it • Didn’t I tell

you that I’d be there • Didn’t I show you that I really care

Didn’t I tell you the way back home • Didn’t I warn you

to stay on the road • Didn’t I help you to understand

That life is just time passing thru your hands
