Boomerang Kid (Song)

Map of U.S. showing route from California to Michigan with flying boomerang
Thrown a little too far. (oops)

I wrote a song called “Boomerang Kid” and I thought it would be a perfect addition to my Goodbye Series. Enjoy!

Lyrics

I’m a boomerang kid, you know the one
20s left home, chasing coffee beach sun

Thrown to the wind, not a thought in my mind
Excited for a new chapter, cute guy to find
Cue coastal Californian, Michigan made
Lost in the wind like an 8-year charade

Let me tell you what no one did ever say
You better believe it, you best work hard to play
All those close knit family friends, now only via phone
High probability, you wind up left alone
Loneliness, they’ve got a word for that gift
Chronic, chronic, chronic heart rift

I’m a boomerang kid, you know the one
20s left home, chasing coffee beach sun

Strong and independent, growth the only pick
Success with a cost, broken, homesick

Confused by the beauty, confused by the place
Isolated despite crowds in shared space

Waited for the wind, a little too long
Boomerang, a comeback home song
