[Verse 1]
I’m countin' on a memory to get me outta here
I’m waitin' for the fog around this spooky little town to clear
All this time I’ve spent bein' someone else’s friend
Just one more time, for old time’s sake, I’d like to go back home again

[Verse 2]
The world had seven wonders once upon a time
It’s sure enough the favoured nations aided their decline
And all around me, I’ve seen times like it was back when
But like back then, I’d say amen if I could get back home again

[Chorus]
If I could go back home, if I could go back home
If I’d never left, I’d never have known
We all dream of leavin', but wind up in the end
Spendin' all our time tryin' to get back home again

[Verse 3]
Could've been a jailbreak and the spotlight hittin' me
Or was I just some nightclub singer, back in 1963
In the old part of Valencia on the coast of Spain
Never tirin' once of hearin' songs about goin' home again

[Chorus]
If I could go back home, if I could go back home
If I’d never left, I’d never have known
We all dream of leavin', but wind up in the end
Spendin' all our time tryin' to get back home again
[Chorus]
If I could go back home, if I could go back home
If I’d never left, I’d never have known
We all dream of leavin', but wind up in the end
Spendin' all our time tryin' to get back home again
