We play tug of war with open hands
Bookshelves filled and artwork hangs
Dust collects on childhood smiles
Our home surrounding us for miles
This time I didn't miss the signs
I haven't been home
Since I was young
I haven't been home
Since I was young
Tucked away in tender hours
Watered the soil and trees and flowers
I'm waiting by the old front door
She will come to me once more
This time I didn't miss the signs
Feels like I wasted my whole life
I haven't been home
Since I was young
I haven't been home
Since I was young
I haven't been home
Since I was young
I haven't been home
Since I was young
Home with falling in and out
The old town clock is running down
Lost in time and buried deep
Patience til eternal sleep
I haven't been home
I haven't been home
I haven't been home
I haven't been home
