about

A pop punk ode to heading home when you don't really want to.

lyrics

Skyscrapers fade slowly
For suburban homes, it’s so boring
Heading back into the same old grind
Medicating so that I won’t lose my mind
With weak coffee, stomach queasy
Eyes holding open just barely
Wish I could say it was the night of all nights,
But it was all erased by the daylight,

She’s got me wondering where it all went wrong
And troubles resurfacing now that the night is gone.

So Hello New Jersey,
Didn’t think I’d see you so soon.
But the train it carries me
Across the Hudson,
I’m coming home to you.
Hello New Jersey,
Can you help me lick all these wounds?
I’m not proud to ask
But you’ve had my back
So I’m coming home to you.

Retrace steps, to see clearly
All the thinking hurts my head dearly
Rewind the picture for the missing scenes
Staring blankly at the seat in front of me
I thought there was something
Til’ her eyes they, showed me nothing
It wasn’t like our night last night on the town
Built up my hopes to watch them get knocked down.

She’s got me wondering where it all went wrong
And troubles resurfacing now that the night is gone.

So Hello New Jersey,
Didn’t think I’d see you so soon.
But the train it carries me
Across the Hudson,
I’m coming home to you.
Hello New Jersey,
Can you help me lick all these wounds?
I’m not proud to ask
But you’ve had my back
So I’m coming home to you.

I’m not afraid to admit when something’s my doing
But I need help to know so I don’t do it again
Cuz all that I’ve got left
Is a hole ripped in my chest,
An empty wallet,
And a pounding in my head.

She’s got me wondering where it all went wrong
Feelin’ like I’ve been hit by the train that I’m sitting on.

So Hello New Jersey,
Didn’t think I’d see you so soon.
But the train it carries me
Across the Hudson,
I’m coming home to you.
Hello New Jersey,
Can you help me lick all these wounds?
I’m not proud to ask
But you’ve had my back
So I’m coming home to you.

So Hello New Jersey,
Didn’t think I’d see you so soon.
But the train it carries me
Across the Hudson,
I’m coming home to you.
Hello New Jersey,
Can you help me lick all these wounds?
I’m not proud to ask
But you’ve had my back
So I’m coming home to you.
It slipped through my hands
Gotta try again
Now I’m coming home to you
Feeling pretty rough
Let me sleep it off,
Now that I’ve come home to you.
