I don't want to leave here 
I don't want to stay 
It feels like pinching to me 
Either way 
And the places I long for the most 
Are the places where I've been 
They are calling out to me 
Like a long lost friend 

It's not about losing faith 
It's not about trust 
It's all about comfortable 
When you move so much 
And the place I was wasn't perfect 
But I had found a way to live 
And it wasn't milk or honey 
But then neither is this 

Chorus: I've 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 I've learned 
Those roads were closed off to me 
While my back was turned 
 
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?
