lyrics

All I know is that my friends are somewhere I am not
And I never thought palm trees could make me lonely
And It feels like I am standing on a street that time forgot
I just want to be back on the road again...

My head feels like I lost a fight, and this coffee's no relief
But I don't regret one choice that led me here
And I just want to close my eyes and forget all I see
And be back home, making my plans for next year
When my heart is full, and my head is clear, because...

This is Gainesville, when Christmas is over
And I don't wanna be here anymore
All that was sacred is now abandoned
And I'm chasing my demons out the door
And back to my home

Three short days can change your life
The first time you arrive
And meet all the beautiful souls just like you
And there's something to be said for all this painful finiteness
That keeps each year bringing back something new
And it will always be there for you, but...

This is Gainesville, when Christmas is over
And I don't wanna be here anymore
All that was sacred is now abandoned
And I'm chasing my demons out the door
And back to my home

This place is not the same as yesterday
'Cause all the things I love have gone away
And I know that something, here, will always remain
But it's time for me to go home again...

I don't have words to talk about what all this means to me
Or how the godless found religion once again
And I don't know where I'd be without this fucked-up family
But I know I'll find myself in this place again
With all these friends, but...

This is Gainesville, and Christmas is over
And I don't wanna be here anymore
All that was sacred is now abandoned
And I'm chasing my demons out the door
And back to my home...
