It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'till it was a battle cry
I'll come back..
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when its over
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'til they're before your eyes
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

Everytime this song plays I feel an overwhelming urge to be someplace else. My breath catches in my throat and I feel like I'm about to throw up. It's the feeling you get when you know it's not within your control and that it can't be changed. It feels like I have to come back, even if I don't want to.
I will always be reminded when I listen to this song.
It breaks my heart.
You walk towards the space between now and then, knowing you can never to go back to the place you want to be the most again.
