Owl City

Back Home

I'm saying goodbye to the skyline

Hello to the sweet pines

Gonna see you late at street lights

I've headed back to tree lines

To free time and starry nights

To bonfires and fireflies

Pack your bags it's time to go

Cause we've got brighter lights back home

I've got aching feet, from walking over miles of concrete

And I can't wait to dream but the city, you know she won't go to sleep

So I'm saying:

Goodbye to the skyline

Hello to the sweet pines

Gonna see you late at street lights

I've headed back to tree lines

To free time and starry nights

To bonfires and fireflies

Pack your bags it's time to go

Cause we've got brighter lights back home

Yeah we've got brighter lights

Back home, there's a girl named Mary Lou

A diner off the highway with a corner booth

And every gravel road is a trip down memory lane

And back home, where corn grows ten feet tall

Every year's measured on the pantry wall

The willow trees are waving

'Till we come back home again

I'm saying: Goodbye to the skyline

Hello to the sweet pines

Gonna see you late at street lights

I've headed back to tree lines

To free time and starry nights

To bonfires and fireflies

Pack your bags it's time to go

I'm saying: Goodbye to the skyline

Hello to the sweet pines

Gonna see you late at street lights

I've headed back to tree lines

To free time and starry nights

To bonfires and fireflies

Pack your bags it's time to go

Cause we've got brighter lights back home
