take me back home

my glassy footsteps left bare at your door

walking through old news and bores

wind whipping through old towns

this is the place where i feel the most sound

trips to the beach is where i find me

spent all my coins on a maybe

i got lost around your corner store

and yet i don't know who you are anymore

take me back home where the seagulls scream my name

where the up and down weather drives me insane

yeah this place might be hell to some

but to me it's where i've become

the best version of me

so take me back home to new jersey

i swallowed my pride at that intersection

often found myself searching for validation

you gave me everything i ever wanted

while you sat back and taunted

your new girl in my face

bought her such a nice place

the two of you share that now

aren't you proud?

take me back home where the seagulls scream my name

where the up and down weather drives me insane

yeah this place might be hell to some

but to me it's where i've become

the best version of me

so take me back home to new jersey

ripping memories of you from that wall

demolished that one old mall

you're another reason to make me cry

oh who knew you'd be such a bad lie?

take me back home where the seagulls scream my name

where the up and down weather drives me insane

yeah this place might be hell to some

but to me it's where i've become

the best version of me

so take me back home to new jersey
