Inspired by a comment in an email from his cousin, Elaine, this song is about the desire and difficulties of going home.

Home Again
song by Benjamin Russell, Elyce, Elaine - copyright (c) The Clear Blue Enterprise (socan)
I'm a little out of focus - but that's OK, I see
XZY and me - don't see eye to eye
But I don't mind - I find the stars are aligned
Just fine
Some of us connect with hearts and thoughts
Even though we don't see or speak
And now I find you're on my mind
And that's exactly what I seek
You can never go home again - an axiom it seems
But what about my dreams
Do they tell me a lie - when they say that I
Should give it a try - Why?
Yesterday's patterns are breaking down
The bonds around my heart
And now I find you're on my mind
And I want to make a brand new start
Flowers - can grow on - graves - of past mistakes
Water them - with forgiveness - that's surely - what it takes
I'm a little out of focus - but that's OK I see
XZY and me - don't see eye to eye
But I don't mind - I find the stars are aligned
Just fine
I want to go home again
I'm inclined to go home again
I'm trying to go home again
