Up Past Midnight - Far From Home Lyrics

Postcards sent from California
Where I'm going so I said
I'm both stubborn and melodramatic
See my face turn red

I felt you calling me back
But I was on the other side
This was the loss of everything
And no one should ever be so divided

Oh I can't go home again
Oh I can't go home again
Oh I can't go home again
But I can go to the place I belong

Take a look from higher up
And you'll see just how broken I was
I never heard you say, "This is goodnight"
Though it grew colder in the fading light

You see I've read every word
Every line you said
On this side is my freedom
The other a frozen bed

Oh I can't go home again
Oh I can't go home again
Oh I can't go home again
But I can go to the place I belong

I had become a ghost upon the stage
With nothing to cushion my heart
And as the tears slip into my eyes
I find that masks only cover the face on the outside

Postcards sent from California
Where I'm going so I said
There's so little time, so little time
Better get moving before I am dead

Oh I can't go home again
Oh I can't go home again
Oh I can't go home again
But I can go to the place I belong
Oh I can't go home again
Oh I can't go home again
Oh I can't go home again
But I can go to the place I belong
