Toronto (Unabridged)

Toronto (Unabridged) - Silverstein

You know I have to go back

To the place I hate the most

Long ago it used to help me grow

Always kept me feeling

Safe from coast to coast

Lock the gates at night

And don't set my place

I won't be back to see how

The snow covers leaves

I counted down the hours until

I found a shortcut home to you

But I'm just passing through

Barely a guest a stranger in my own home

I'm back in Toronto but just til tomorrow

That's when the bleeding stops again

Put off all the feelings

Forget all the meanings

Just let it cycle through my head

We're spinning again the sinning is innocent

Until we realize that

We're back in Toronto once again

You kicked and screamed

Until you met your defeat

And slammed the door behind me

Where you stood for weeks

I spent all night pretending I was alright

I justified I planned but I know deep inside

I can't withstand temptation by your hand

I'm back in Toronto but just til tomorrow

That's when the bleeding stops again

Put off all the feelings

Forget all the meanings

Just let it cycle through my head

We're spinning again the sinning is innocent

Until we realize that

We're back in Toronto once again

Back home Liberty cutting through the park

I see everything has changed except for me

This place is called home

But I've never been so scared

To face the cold breathe

In the truth from the air

This place is called home

But from Kensington to Dee's

Everything I pass it plants a seed

And it takes me back

To a time when all I had

Was a cloud over my head weights on my feet

This place is called home

But it's not where I will stay

It's all temporary I know

I'll never move away

But I know this city

Will always feel strange

This city is a stranger to me
