Going Back
We are all guilty of "idealizing" the past and often imaging things in our memories to be better than they were. This song reflects on the fact that nothing stays the same and that we would have to give up parts of who we are now, who we've become to step back in time to those imagined ideal times...

Wunschliste
I dreamed of walking backwards
On my back was a scale of stone
But the load was an empty burden
As I was walking all alone
Then the hands of time touched me
They chilled me to the bone
When I looked in a empty mirror
In my place I saw my home
***Chorus***
I wanted to go back
To the places that I loved
The place that I survived in
The place where I grew up
Home is always there they say
Time can never change it
But I just can't go back there
I somehow feel a stranger
(Hey, Hey, I just wanted to go home)
(Hey, Hey, I just wanted to go home)
(Hey, Hey, Without Home you'll be alone) Lines in Brackets for final Chorus run
So many times I sit around
And think about my home
How I've changed, how I've grown
Will I be the one not known
Should I stay, should I go
Take a chance on the past
See the sights, find my way
And be a better man
You seek out new beginnings
So you leave behind the past
Just try to do a better job
Than the memories in the mask
In the end I have to sacrifice
In the end I have to give
To go back, to go back
To where I used to live
