No Place Like Home Album Lyrics by Vacations

Next Exit

I'll give this one more try
Before I take the next exit
Off the highway
Into a different life
I don't know how
You can tell me otherwise
When I can't tell left from right
Trouble and strife

Can I trust what I know?
I know nothing
Maybe it's time to let go
Drift and fall apart
Take me back to the start
Or we can just let go

Surprised to be here
Play life on repeat
Stay safe within routine
Won't accept defeat, oh no
I don't know how
You convince yourself
So tragic, don't say anymore
You lost count, never kept score

Can I trust what I know?
I know nothing
Maybe it's time to let go
Drift and fall apart
Take me back to the start
Or we could just let go

Can I trust what I know?
I know nothing
Maybe it's time to let go
Drift and fall apart
Take me back to the start
Or we could just let go

Slow Motion

Head empty, no thoughts
Tragedy played out in slow motion
Complicate the present, turn a mess into a sprawl
Enter the void and float above it all

Rest your head on my shoulder
Rest your head on my shoulder

If I lean into you
Will you take a hold of me?
If I lean into you
Will you take a hold?
I can't see no other way out of this
Watch my step, hit-or-miss
I can't see no other way out of this
Catch my breath, hit or miss

Pull focus, change director
Rearrange the mantra
A fear of the unknown
This script, rehearsed and so pedestrian
Memories in transit
That haven't even happened yet

Rest your head on my shoulder
Rest your head on my shoulder

If I lean into you
Will you take a hold of me?
If I lean into you
Will you take a hold?
I can't see no other way out of this
Watch my step, hit-or-miss
I can't see no other way out of this
Catch my breath, hit-or-miss

If I lean into you
If I lean into you
If I lean into you
If I lean into you

No Place Like Home

Go slow, there's no place like home
You know this is how it goes
But we're changing
Into something I don't know

Change course
Sail away from your arms
It's not safe here anymore
We aren't the same
I can't choose to remain here anymore

Tear it down, start again
Stumble through this life only to play pretend
Walking on a tightrope
I'll keep my thoughts close

Change course
Sail away from your arms
It's not safe here anymore
We aren't the same
I can't choose to remain here anymore
Change course
Sail away from your arms
It's not safe here anymore
We aren't the same
I can't choose to remain here anymore

Over You

Hit me again, it's a rerun
Play round two just for fun
String me up 'til I'm undone
These thoughts, they weigh a ton

What's the deal? What's the use?
Playing by your rules
This weight on my shoulders
More power to you
If it takes two
Can we call it a truce?
Didn't you know?

I'm so obsessed over you
I'm so obsessed over you
I'm so obsessed

Swing like a pendulum
Every breath with you is adrenaline
I'll practice an excuse
Only to miss my cue

What's the deal? What's the use?
Playing by your rules
This weight on my shoulders
More power to you
If it takes two
Can we call it a truce?
Didn't you know?

I'm so obsessed over you
I'm so obsessed over you
I'm so obsessed

Rehearse your ritual
Act out what's good for you
Preach your thoughts
The only thing that's true

Midwest

I heard your voice down the wire
From a hotel room in Colorado
We talked for hours
Exchanged our lives
From different points in time

And as I drove across the Midwest
I rehearsed our memories in the rearview
Looking forward to the next time
I could be close to you

We're starting at the finish line
Turn away, say otherwise
You're always on my mind
'Cause I miss you
As I don't want you to go

Thinking back about our home
Among the gum trees
What's it like for you?
How's your day?

I don't mean to be pedantic
I'm hopeless, but maybe romantic
I can't escape the feeling
That the distance is growing

We're starting at the finish line
Turn away, say otherwise
You're always on my mind
'Cause I miss you
As I don't want you to go

We're starting at the finish line
Turn away, say otherwise
You're always on my mind
'Cause I miss you
And I don't want you to go
We're starting at the finish line
Turn away, say otherwise (I don't want you to go)
You're always on my mind
'Cause I miss you
And I don't want you to go

Close Quarters

On the run from everyone
There's nothing left to say
Check twice over my shoulder
And pray this all fades away
Stumbling forward
Don't try to move or make a sound
This push and pull is all I know now

All I long for is myself
All that you want is someone else
Burn everything down
Burn everything

Guard down, say yes, bruised up
My thoughts ring loud when you say no
Try to hold myself like a child
If I keep the distance it'll remain
There's nothing left here more to gain

All I long for is myself
All that you want is someone else
Burn everything down
Burn everything

All I long for is myself
All that you want is someone else
Burn everything down
Burn everything

Off-Season

For a moment in time
We crossed each other's paths
Two lost souls intertwined
For reasons I don't know why

Off-season, a moment's rest
Call it off, for the best
No direction, I might be wrong
Found a reason to move on
I might be wrong

Thank you for your time
I'll see you in the next life
This isn't a goodbye
This isn't goodbye

Watch my options disappear
Find new life away from here
Trying my best to swim
Despite all of my fears
Shaking hand with a smile
A stranger turned into a friend
How long 'til it comes to an end?
'Til I start over again
I'll start over again

Thank you for your time
I'll see you in the next life
This isn't a goodbye
This isn't goodbye
This isn't a goodbye
This isn't goodbye
This isn't a goodbye
This isn't goodbye

Terms & Conditions

Two years too late
Let you down, call it fate
I'm a child learning how to walk again
How could you know?
Call your bluff, let it go
I was playing charades while the house was on fire

Tenderness and patience
My spirit wanes from your off-guard distractions
It's a quiet oblivion
Crushing into violence
I'll play hide and seek
On your terms, despite my condition
I can't think straight
Yet I have 20/20 vision

Split down the middle
You're a stranger crashing into my life
If we spent the time, could we make it right?
I can't win, but I can lose
Or learn how to live with you
No time to pretend, you know what's true

Tenderness and patience
My spirit wanes from your off-guard distractions
It's a quiet oblivion
Crushing into violence
I'll play hide and seek
On your terms, despite my condition
I can't think straight
Yet I have 20/20 vision

Lost in Translation

Hello, stranger
For a minute there
We got lost in translation
Let's start over
Before we break down
Into this confrontation

If it all goes up in flames
What will be left of us?
Ashes to ashes, fust to dust
So long, goodbye
This life, you and I

Even when you're on the right track
And you still f*ck it up
If there is a God
I'm sure they'll forgive us

Know that I love you
You'll always be enough
Know that we love you
You've always been enough
