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

Then, when I'm home for the week on a holiday
I 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 that 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
I look around, everything has changed
Life's not the same since you've gone away
Since you've gone away

I've been home for the week on a holiday
I 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
(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)

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)

At the end of the day
We always need a reason to believe
