So let me first start off by saying   How hard I've been working   Towards this goal   That was set in stone   Behind my eyelids   From hours of countless dreaming      And second, let me tell you   About this feeling I can't describe   'Cause as I try to get this all out   I know that I'm not better off at all   'Cause this town's never seemed so cold      When I'm home for the week on a holiday   Look around   Everything has changed   Life's not the same since you've gone away   Since you've gone away      I've come to this conclusion   That I was foolish when I thought   That if I just put my trust in coming home   That I'd be better off      All that just got me thinking   About the feeling I can't describe   And as I try to get this all out   I realize I'm not better off at all      When I'm home for the week on a holiday   Look around   Everything has changed   Life's not the same since you've gone away   'Cause you've gone away   And I'm home for the week on a holiday   Look around   Everything has changed   Life's not the same since you've gone away   Since you've gone away      We all need a reason to believe   We all need a reason   We all need a reason to believe   We all need a reason      Home for the week on a holiday   Look around   Everything has changed   Life's not the same since you've gone away   Since you've gone away      "At the end of the day   We always need a reason to believe," she said   "Love can take you anywhere you want."
