lyrics

When I was young I told myself not to come home ‘til I found who I was
I’m not so sure that my goals were achievable though I am not giving up

All of my friends are like boomerangs skimming the sky, tumbling for a ride
Just like me they tried catching a breeze but we know how the boomerang flies
Yeah we know how the boomerang flies

Why do we always come back to the nest
Despite what we said all those years in the past
Why do we find ourselves pulled on a string
A dinner bell ring does the funniest thing

Singin' la da da da, la da da
Singin' la da da da, la da da
We’re boomerangs

On your first flight you feel bigger and smaller at once; in a magnifying glass
In just a few days you’ll have tilted the rear-view straight up, truly flying at last

Months become years and one day you feel something askew, like a “tug-o-war” heart
Straighten your arms out in front like a zombie would do and walk it back to the start

Why do we always come back to the nest
Despite what we said all those years in the past
Why do we find ourselves pulled on a string
A dinner bell ring does the funniest thing

Why do we always come back to the nest
Despite what we said all those years in the past
Why do we find ourselves pulled on a string
A dinner bell ring does the funniest thing

Singin' la da da da, la da da
Singin' la da da da, la da da
We’re boomerangs
