Silverstein – Toronto (Unabridged) lyrics
Next stop: East Liberty Street

[Verse 1]
You know I have to go
Back to the place I hate the most
Long ago, it used to help me grow
Always kept me feeling safe from coast to coast

[Verse 2]
Lock the gates at night and don’t set my place
I won’t be back to see how the snow covers leaves
I counted down the hours until I found a shortcut home to you
But I’m just passing through
Barely a guest, a stranger in my own home

[Chorus]
I'm back in Toronto, but just 'til tomorrow
That's when the bleeding stops again
Put off all the feelings, forget all the meanings
Just let it cycle through my head
We’re spinning again, the sinning is innocent
'Til we realize that we're back in Toronto once again

[Verse 3]
You kicked and screamed until you met your defeat
And slammed the door behind me, where you stood for weeks
I spent all night pretending I was alright
I justified, I planned, but I know deep inside
I can’t withstand temptation by your hand

[Chorus]
I'm back in Toronto, but just 'til tomorrow
That's when the bleeding stops again
Put off all the feelings, forget all the meanings
Just let it cycle through my head
We’re spinning again, the sinning is innocent
'Til we realize that we're back in Toronto once again

[Bridge]
Back home, Liberty
Cutting through the park, I see
Everything has changed except for me
This place is called home
But I’ve never been so scared
To face the cold, breathe in the truth from the air
This place is called home
But from Kensington to Dee’s
Everything I pass, it plants a seed
And it takes me back to a time when all I had
Was a cloud over my head, weights on my feet
This place is called home
But it’s not where I will stay, it’s all temporary
I know I’ll never move away
But I know this city will always feel strange
This city is a stranger to me
