New Way Home Lyrics
Have you found your way around the down and out?
I know it must seem long, so long
I'm still tryin' to keep this time from runnin' out
Head down, always movin' on and on and on
[Verse 2]
I never heard this warnin', another early mornin'
Takes me, wakes me into
If you could manage me, I'll try to manage you, but
Lately it's all I ever do
[Chorus]
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared
[Bridge]
I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holdin'
I know these things must bore you
I can't find another way
I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holdin'
I love this leash that holds me
When I try to run away
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared
[Chorus]
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared!
I felt like this on my way home!
I'm not scared!
I pass the boats and the Kingdome!
I'm not scared!
I felt like this on my way home!
I'm not scared!
I pass the boats and the Kingdome!
I'm not scared!
I felt like this on my way home!
I'm not scared!
I pass the boats and the Kingdome!
I'm not scared!
[Outro]
I'm not scared!
I'm not scared!
About
Describing this song, Dave said “That’s about winding your way through all of these songs, emotions and pitfalls and ups and downs, but at the end of the day, you realise that you’re not scared any more and you’re gonna make it.”
It is the last track on The Colour and The Shape, which is supposed to resemble a therapy session in its track order. The first song on the album “Doll” opens with the line “You know in all of the time that we’ve shared, I’ve never been so scared”. On this song, the phrase “Im not scared” is repeated throughout the chorus. Whatever Dave was scared about when the album started has been resolved along the course of the album, and this song makes that clear.
