      - James LaBrie

      

    Feelin' sick once again

    I'd give anything

    To be back home

    Safe and warm inside

    

    I can't stand the crowds

    Or the smell that surrounds me

    The cloth and key 

    Still preach chastity

    

    Take me back so I can see

    The way it used to be

    

    I lay down and enter a dream

    Unlike anywhere I've been

    All is silent and sweet

    

    Then I'm falling down to the ground

    And I'm lost from what I've found

    Can't stand the sounds no more

    

    Take me back so I can see

    The way it used to be

    The way it used to be

    

    Move me from the water

    Too cold to swim

    Bring me to the land

    Move me from the water

    That I see within

    Bring me to the land

    

    Radio waves 

    Splash through my head

    To a rhythm that I crave

    Radio waves 

    Relive the moment  

    Seems like yesterday

    

    Take me back to Twelve Mile Bay

    Where I'll sit at the edge with my feet in the water

    Take me back as the sun fades away

    Break down the walls so I can breathe



    Move me from the water

    Too cold to swim

    Bring me to the land

    Move me from the water

    That I see within

    Bring me to the land



    Move me from the water

    Too cold to swim

    Bring me to the land

    Move me from the water

    That I see within

    

    The way it used to be

    The way it used to be



    Move me from the water

    Too cold to swim

    Bring me to the land

    Move me from the water

    That I see within

    Bring me to the land

    

    Move me from the water

    Too cold to swim

    Bring me to the land

    Move me from the water

    That I see within
