[Verse 1]
Am I really as different as I feel?
Maybe you're just too the same
Every smile just gets thrown on the pile
And everyone knows your pain
I'll think of this while you drink to that
Those glory days don't move me the way they move you

[Chorus]
Coming home
Is living on a motorcycle
Jumping off to see my friend
I'm coming home
Feels like I'm leaving home instead

[Verse 2]
Do you really think I'm someone new?
Someone you don't recognize in any of you
Well, I don't resist it the way you do
Because change is the only thing that got me through this
I'll drink to this while you think of that
Those sunny days didn't warm me, they burned my skin

[Chorus]
Coming home
Is living on an escalator
Jumping off to cry out loud
I'm coming home
Feels like I'm leaving home instead

[Verse 3]
I remember these streets, I had my both feet on the ground
While my head was in all of the clouds
I was something to see, nothing ever came free
She was mine when love meant nothing to me

[Chorus]
Coming home
Is just another cruel reminder
Knowing that I'll never find her here
Coming home
Was living on a trampoline
Jumping up to see if there's anyone here
That knows what I mean

[Outro]
I'm coming home
Feels like I'm leaving home instead
I'm coming home [x3]

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
