"Find Your Way Back Home" lyrics

"Find Your Way Back Home"
(from "American Pie" soundtrack)

There used to be a time when you were the only one that you could see
You built a wall to keep you free
You saw it all so perfectly
You divided everything you had into a thousand parts with names
It made it easier to place the blame
But it never really was the same

But you forgot the reason why you had to be alone to breathe
Something from your history
Or have you lost your memory?
And now it seems your baggage is the only thing that you can bring
You had a lie for everything
And now your world is crumbling

Ah hoo
So now you find you're on your own
You find you're on your own
Ah hoo
Trying to find your way back home
Trying to find your way back

You used to talk to God but you gave up 'cause you couldn't see
You couldn't get from "A" to "B"
Or were you ever really listening?
Enough's enough, you know, but then you never really had enough
Just something more to fill you up
Or maybe just a smaller cup

Ah hoo
So now you find you're on your own
You find you're on your own
Ah hoo
Trying to find your way back home
Trying to find your way back home

You used to think that you would never be alone
But you're losing control
You find it hard to see at all
To find your way back

Ah hoo
So now you find you're on your own
You find you're on your own
Ah hoo
Trying to find your way back home
You're trying to find your way back home

There used to be a time
When you valued everything you had
You had a lie for everything
Or were you ever really listening?
You used to talk to God but you gave up
Then you really never had enough
Or have you lost your memory, memory?

And now you find you're on your own
Find your way back home
