Never Left Me

I left my boots out by the door like
I always do
Same stack of magazines by the the kitchen sink is nothin' new
Same view out my bedroom window
Same whistle every time the
Wind blows
Came back a different me
But it's good to see the same old you

I packed my bags like a bat out of hell
Said "I'm all good all by myself"
But here I am again
It's been too long old friend
If floors could cry, and the walls
Could talk
I hope they'd say it ain't your fault
Standin' on your front porch
I can see
I left you, but you never left me

I bet you knew that I'd be back the
Day you watched me go
Now here you are all open-arms
Though I told you so
Cross stitched pillows sayin'
"Home sweet home"
Ain't moved an inch since
I've been gone
They kept these part of me
I haven't seen in so long

I packed my bags like a bat
Out of hell
Said "I'm all good all by myself"
But here I am again, it's been
Too long old friend
If floors could cry, and the walls
Could talk
I hope they'd say, "It ain't your fault"
Standin' on your front porch
I can see
I left you, but you never left me
You never left me

When I packed my bags like a
Bat out of hell
Said "I'm all good all by myself"
Here I am again
These floors cried, and these
Walls talked
Wanderin' far, don't mean you're lost
Being back is all so bittersweet
I left you, but you never left me
You never left me

Came back a different me
But, it's good to see the
Same old you
