[Verse 1]
Fresh air soft landing
So good to be home
This bruised world's got its beauty
It's where I belong
The sight of those green curves
Quickens my heart
Break the grip of Leviathan
Now I'm ready to start

[Chorus]
Have I been away too long
Have I been away too long
Have I been away too long
I just can't wait

[Verse 2]
Saw big smoke umbrella
Saw blue lights up close
Exploiters of psyche
Are stealing the code
I imagine completeness
No spin cycle deceit
Time and tide keep on rolling
Now the world's at my feet
