I've been looking through the glass 
I can barely see, its 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
