Lyrics
Remembering
Back to when she shared my name
Oh how things have changed
Lingering
Thoughts are running through my head
How she said
You're not welcome here
Well isn't that everyone's fear
CHORUS:
I'm a castaway just a castaway
Sitting here dreaming of home
It's a mystery what belongs to me
Now that I'm out on my own
Lonely days
Isolated and estranged
From the friends that we both claimed
Sorry now
For roses that are dead and gone
But I'm moving on
Destination home
I'm tired of walking this road all alone
CHORUS:
I'm a castaway just a castaway
Sitting here dreaming of home
It's no mystery what's been done to me (castaway)
And I'm feeling lost and alone
BRIDGE:
The world we created has been desecrated
And thrown in a pile of old photographs
It's there to remind us that it's all behind us
No way back
CHORUS:
I'm a castaway just a castaway
Sitting here dreaming of home
It's a mystery what belongs to me (castaway)
Now that I'm out on my own
Castaway just a castaway (castaway)
And I'm feeling lost and alone
Remembering
Back to when she shared my name
Oh how things have changed
