Toronto - Silverstein

You know I have to go

Back to the place I hate the most

Long ago, it used to help me grow

Always kept me feeling safe from coast to coast

Lock the gates at night and don’t set my place

I won’t be back to see how the snow covers leaves

I counted down the hours until I found a shortcut home to you

But I’m just passing through

Barely a guest, a stranger in my own home

I’m back in Toronto, but just 'til tomorrow

That’s when the bleeding stops again

Put off all the feelings, forget all the meanings

Just let it cycle through my head

We’re spinning again, the sinning is innocent

'Til we realize that we’re back in Toronto once again

You kicked and screamed until you met your defeat

And slammed the door behind me, where you stood for weeks

I spent all night pretending I was alright

I justified, I planned, but I know deep inside

I can’t withstand temptation by your hand

I’m back in Toronto, but just 'til tomorrow

That’s when the bleeding stops again

Put off all the feelings, forget all the meanings

Just let it cycle through my head

We’re spinning again, the sinning is innocent

'Til we realize that we’re back in Toronto once again

Back home, Liberty

Cutting through the park, I see

Everything has changed except for me

This place is called home

But I’ve never been so scared

To face the cold, breathe in the truth from the air

This place is called home

But from Kensington to Dee’s

Everything I pass, it plants a seed

And it takes me back to a time when all I had

Was a cloud over my head, weights on my feet

This place is called home

But it’s not where I will stay, it’s all temporary

I know I’ll never move away

But I know this city will always feel strange

This city is a stranger to me
