[Chorus 1]
How am I gonna get myself back home?
I, I, I
How am I gonna get myself back home?
I, I, I

[Verse 1]
We are the last people standing
At the end of the night
We are the greatest pretenders
In the cold morning light

[Pre-Chorus]
This is just another night
And we've had many of them
To the morning we're cast out
But I know I'll land here again

[Chorus 1]
How am I gonna get myself back home?
I, I, I
How am I gonna get myself back home?
I, I, I

[Verse 2]
There's a light in the bedroom
But it's dark
Scattered around on the floor
All my thoughts

[Pre-Chorus]
This is just another night
And we've had many of them
To the morning we're cast out
But I know I'll land here again

[Chorus 2]
How am I gonna get myself back home?
I, I, I
Oh, how am I gonna get myself back home?
I, I, I

[Bridge]
The birds are mocking me
They call to be heard
The birds are mocking me
They curse my return

[Chorus 1]
How am I gonna get myself back home?
I, I, I
How am I gonna get myself back home?
I, I, I

[Outro]
Oh, how am I gonna get myself back home?
I, I, I
How am I gonna get myself back home?
I, I, I
Oh, how am I gonna get myself back home?
I, I, I
How am I gonna get myself back home?
I, I, I

I'm lost...

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
