The Way Back Home

I've been looking through the glass
 I can barely see, it's too fogged up
 Between the trees, the cold has taken all the leaves
 Soon I'll watch another branch fall off
 Would you believe I'm not just killing time?
 I've got a lot of things to do, yeah
 We won't stay here too long, but well be here again
 And don't forget, we know the way back home
 We won't stay here too long, but well be here again
 I've been slipping through the cracks
 When I show up without my bed, they'll have my back
 I'll keep warm in the mitten state
 I got more brothers across the lake
 And the Chicago city water helps me sing
 Home is where the hardest goodbyes are
 My heart is in everywhere I've been
 We won't stay here too long, but well be here again
 And don't forget, we know the way back home
 We won't stay here too long, but well be here again
 Thank you my friends, you have been far too kind
 When we set sail, we are not leaving you behind
 I'm not leaving this behind
