Lyrics:

Verse 1: I dont want to leave here I dont want to stay It feels like pinching to me Either way And the places I long for the most Are the places where Ive been They are calling out to me Like a long lost friend Verse 2: Its not about losing faith Its not about trust Its all about comfortable When you move so much And the place I was wasnt perfect But I had found a place to live And it wasnt milk or honey But then neither is this Chorus: Ive been painting pictures of Egypt Leaving out what it lacks And the future feels so hard And I want to go back But the places they used to fit me Cannot hold the things Ive learned Those roads were closed off to me While my back was turned Verse 3: The past is so tangible I know it by heart Familiar things are never easy To discard I was dying for some freedom But now I hesitate to go I am caught between the Promise And the things I know Chorus Bridge: If it comes to quick I may not appreciate it Is that the reason behind all this time and sand? And if it comes to quick I may not recognise it Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?
