Lyrics:
I put my key in the door
But all of the locks had changed
Don't know what I came here for
But I know it don't feel the same

And no, I can't find my way
Through rivers and walls of stone
When home feels so far away
Out on my own
Retire to the place where the nomads go

Remember the day I left?
Clouds came and greyed my skies
So I'll take it step by step
And watch colors bloom from white

And no, I can't find my way 
Through rivers and walls of stone
When home feels so far away
Out on my own
Retire to the place where the nomads go

I don't mind
Even if I'm wasting my time
I'll be fine
I don't mind 
Searching for a place I can't find
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
I'll be fine

I'll walk the face of the earth
Won't stop till my body aches
Wait for the tide to turn
Hold out for a twist of fate

And no, I can't find my way
Through rivers and walls of stone
When home feels so far away
Out on my own
Retire to the place where the nomads go
Retire to the place where the nomads go
Retire to the place where the nomads go
