Secretly, you have been counting the days Thinkin' soon you'll be safe Familiar sounds, familiar ways And if all goes, well, this time someday You'll be back on that old red couch Watching the fire burn out Feeling so sure You're going home La da da da, la da da da, la da da da da-da You're going home So much can change in the blink of an eye Oh, the past is deceiving And the sweetness of leaving Is never so sweet as the feeling of going home La da da da, la da da da, la da da da da-da You're going home La da da-da, la da da-da La da da-da, la da da-da You're going home (la da da-da) La da da-da, la da da-da You're going home La da da da-da, la da da-da La da da-da And if all goes well this time next year You'll be back on that old red couch Watching the fire burn out Feeling so safe and sound Feeling like you've been found Feeling so sure You're going home La da da-da
