Every Avenue - The Hell Back Home lyrics

rate me

If it all was a dream then it was worth the memories

If I make it out alive then know that this got the best of me

My knuckles are white but I can't get a grip

If this is the last song I write

I'll make all the words fit

From the roof of this house

I watch the sun go down

On the town that I've cursed since I turned 16

A set of keys, I was California dreamin'

Drive, just drive

And I've been saying that I changed my ways

Disharmony seems to be my favorite word lately

And love had its hand up but I pushed it away

And I damn myself for the words I didn't say

And all the things I said I wouldn't do, I've done

When things get hard all I think to do is run

But all I want is something to call my own

I let my heart, woah, get the best of me this time

I lost myself and all that mattered most to me

But one thing doesn't make a man

One thing doesn't make a man

I can't believe all the things that I've seen

I was moving so fast, forgot to take it all in

It's the sad times and tears, and being alone

That makes you think of the times that mattered most

And now it's 5 years later and I'm still all alone

My closest thing to a friend, quarter dime in a payphone

And now I'm feeling all the pain that I've caused

Behind this broke down piano in the back of this bar

So this is California

The sun still sets the exact same was as back home

On that rooftop, the sun still sets the same

I let my heart, woah, get the best of me this time

I lost myself and all that mattered most to me

But one thing doesn't make a man

But one thing doesn't make a man

The lies I told, the hearts I broke

The things I had, I never told

The tip of my tongue, fingertips

Translate every word I must have missed

Forgot to mention when I lived back home

And now I'm going back to the only thing I ever knew

Woah, oh, get the best of me this time

I lost myself and all that mattered most to me

But one thing doesn't make a man

I let my heart, woah, get the best of me this time

I lost myself and all that mattered most to me

But one thing doesn't make a man

But one thing doesn't make a man
