When you stay far away from the place you know
And the days turn to weeks and it takes a toll
You make it through 'cause one day you know
You're going to make it home
When the place you were raised ain't the same as it was
Then you still persevere through the changes because
When you've made it through
And your pain is done
You will have made it home
But until you're back
I'm all alone
Yo, are you looking for a place to be
Take a seat, you're looking at the maître d
Got a knowledge of your brain going A to Z
And there ain't no way you would ever stay away from me, ha
Right? Imma lock in true
Final answer, if not I'll be coping
Left the door open hoping you'd be walking through
But wait a minute, let me know who I'm talking to, 'cause
You've lived a whole lifetime since I've seen you
Feel like you're in the limelight while I'm by the green room
Looking at your face through a screen
Do we ever really get to reconnect the way we mean to
I don't know what to expect
When you left, everybody spread apart
It's hard, now everything's new
It isn't fair; we didn't hear a 3,2,1
We just had to go
Why can't all of my favorite people
Pick a city and make it home (Why you got to be so spread out)
Can't we
Pick a city and make it home (Pick a city and make it home)
Why can't all of my favorite people (Don't stay, I said don't stay)
Pick a city and make it home (Why you got to be so spread out)
Can't we
Pick a city and make it home
Why can't all of my favorite people
Pick a city and make it home (Why you got to be so spread out)
Can't we
Pick a city and make it home
