[Verse 1]
Wish I were with you
But I couldn't stay
Every direction
Leads me away
Pray for tomorrow
But for today

[Chorus]
All I want is to be home

[Verse 2]
Stand in the mirror
You look the same
Just lookin' for shelter
From cold and the pain
Someone to cover
Safe from the rain

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Echoes and silence
Patience and grace
All of these moments
I'll never replace
No fear of my heart
Absence of faith

[Chorus][x2]

[Verse 4]
People I've loved
I have no regrets
Some I remember
Some I forget
Some of them living
Some of them dead

[Chorus]

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
