I was young 
I escaped this town to live alone 
It’s time for me to come home 
It’s time for me to come home 

Took my savings, engine start 
Left my prints upon the ground 
No one knows when I’ll come back 
Save the dance, I’ll come around 
My vision gets blurry 
I’m a sailor without stars 
Now heading New Jersey 
I can see the lights of fame

I was young 
I escaped this town to live alone 
It’s time for me to come home 
It’s time for me to come home 

I was no one, a stranger’s face 
I was scared to fall again 
Streets in motion, endless race 
Ain’t no break until the end 
I’m starting to worry 
I feel lost near married men 
Alone doesn’t mean lonely 
I’ll be someone’s oldest friend 

I was young 
I escaped this town to live alone 
It’s time for me to come home 
Am I free? 
Eyes up, we gotta rise up 
Eyes up, we gotta rise up 

Am I free? 
Am I free? 
Am I free? 
Eyes up, we gotta rise up 
Eyes up, we gotta rise up 
Am I free? 
Eyes up, we gotta rise up 
Eyes up, we gotta rise up
