On my way back home, by chance I thought of All my favorite songs, where I'd gone wrong

Artist- Band of Horses
Song of the day- On my way back home

So recently I've started watching the show "Parenthood" because well I do everything my sister tells me to and once I got Hulu Plus I ran out of reasons not to be watching it. Luckily my sister is usually right about such pop culture things and when I heard this song at the end of an episode I thought it not only appropriate for a family driven show but also fit with my mood of missing my family and having that place to come home to. It also does an excellent job of describing how the mind wonders on long drives as you make your way back home, of the craziness of life, your own mishaps, successes, if you made the most of the time given to you that day all slip through your mind as you go back home to rejuvenate yourself just to take on another day, hopefully succeeding more than failing.



On my way back home, by chance I thought of
All my favorite songs, where I'd gone wrong
The only words that I could think of
I'm pissing my life away in the form of a song
On my way back home

Every step, a victory it was
I was cheating death, just in time I woke
My memories start to wander off
Come to me, the remembrance of
On my way back home

I came in this way and here now I'll stay
If the unknown have to wait one more day
There's often times that it comes out wrong
But luckily I, I got a mind to know
On my way back home
