Headlines read like a warning, we're under attack
I just waved to a stranger, he didn't wave back
And if it weren't for my TV, I wouldn't know what is real
My doctor can't do a thing for how I feel

Feels like I'm leaving Eden
Feels like I'm leaving Eden

People are losing their homes to hurricanes
Old lady living next door forgot her own name
Teacher is hiding her Bible, but at least she's got a job
My local Salvation Army just got robbed

Feels like I'm leaving Eden
Feels like I'm leaving Eden
It's like I'm further away with every step I take
And I can't go back
‘Cause I'm leaving Eden

I'm going, going home
I'm going, going home
There's no place, no place like home
There's no place, no place like home

When you're leaving Eden
When you're leaving Eden
It's like I'm further away with every step I take
And I can't go back
‘Cause I'm leaving, leaving Eden
