lyrics
Paper-thin walls,
Doors on one hinge with panels caved in,
Weather-stained couch,
Broken windows let the air flow in
Rickety stairs,
Carpet bunched up in the corners,
The porch sags low, the beds are cold,
But somehow it still feels like home
And all this time,
Thought that all that I wanted, what you had for me,
Was on its way,
Three car garage and a swimming pool
Graduating college,
"What's next for me?"
Look for the dream job, date the best girl,
Is this what it should be?
Five year plans,
Chosen cities of origin,
Perfectly crafted resumes,
Somehow I know I'm not home
And all this time,
Thought that all that I wanted, what you had for me,
Was on its way,
Almost to my degree and I still feel like a fool
I'm longing to know what makes a house a home?
Is it people, is it things, is it a pair of wedding rings?
I'm longing to know what turns this house into a home?
Is it people or things?
Is it a matching pair of wedding rings?
