You asked where I've been, so I made up a lie
Wish I had told you I was fighting for my life
Said that I was okay so that you wouldn't see
That I was a shell of the person I used to be

I had to leave the world I knew behind
From a million miles away, I realize

Ooh-ooh, lost myself to hold it close
Ooh-ooh, I grew distant, I let go
Ooh-ooh, no matter how far I float
Like a canary, I will come back home

Was gone for a while, but now that I'm back
Won't let my future be held hostage by my past

I had to leave the world I knew behind
From a million miles away, I realized

Ooh-ooh, lost myself to hold it close
Ooh-ooh, I grew distant, I let go
Ooh-ooh, no matter how far I float (no matter how far I float)
Like a canary, I will come back home

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Like a canary, I will come back home
