Home

I've spent my summer in a tent among the dirt and grasses
Livin' simply for the thrill of seeing people and the mountains
Came home two days ago, and this house, it feels the same
Cold floors, silent air, and me

Homes are supposed to feel like people live inside
And I'm alone when I step into this place sometimes
Without that, they're just houses, stones and bricks and wood and tile
And you ask me why I don't stay a while

'Cause I am who I am, but when I'm here, I'm who I was
I am who I am, but when I'm here, I'm who I was

Homes only need to be big enough for people
That's about the size of my dirty, grey-brown tent
I don't need the shining floors or the grand entrance
Just some laughter filling up the air

Homes are supposed to feel like people live inside
And I'm alone when I step into this place sometimes
Without that, they're just houses, stones and bricks and wood and tile
And you ask me why I don't stay a while

'Cause I am who I am, but when I'm here, I'm who I was
I am who I am, but when I'm here, I'm who I was

I'm ready to leave, I'm ready to head out
I'm ready to go back to the world they talk about
And I'm sorry if that hurts you, and I'm sorry if you miss me
But that girl you're talking to, that isn't me

I have changed in many ways, I've grown and morphed and twisted
And I don't like to be around the me that used to live here
My sea-salt taffy body hardens and it cracks when I'm here
Oh, oh
There's another chorus after-

Homes are supposed to feel like people live inside
And I'm alone when I step into this place sometimes
Without that, they're just houses, stones and bricks and wood and tile
And you ask me why I don't stay a while
