How quickly I forget That this is meaningless (How quickly I forget) (That this is meaningless) What have I learned from yesterday I never came home Wandering souls captured My thoughts

You're sleeping, son, I know But, really, this can't wait I wanted to explain Before it gets too late For your mother and me Love has finally died This is no happy home But God knows how I've tried

This is a place that I call my home Where the doors are moaning all day long, Where the stairs are leaning dusk 'till dawn, Where the windows are breathing in the light, Where the rooms are a collection of our lives, This is a place where I don't feel

And after all that training With something we could no longer contain I don't endorse that (slammed in my face) I didn't want this And that's my sister It was handsome at the auction Oh but when we got it home It grew up into Something we could no longer

This is so long You did me so wrong for so long, for so long And so I doubt you I doubt you even know what's on my mind I said I doubt you In the city of stars Where there's these flying cars A brand new home for everyone And even life on Mars I know

That's why New York's my home New York's my home, sweet home But it hasn't got There's a rumor going around That some of you good people Want to leave this town But you better consult me before you go 'Cause I've been in all these places

He ain't feelin' anythin' My love, my hurt or the sting of this rain All he can say is, "Man ain't it such a nice day?" Like dead flowers I feel like the flowers in this vase He just brought 'em home one day, "Ain't they beautiful?" he said They been

This will always be my home No poison in my bones This is where I build my home This took my life to make I need someone to hold Lonely thoughts, They seep into mind, into me

I can't see this world unless I go Outside my Southern Comfort zone When I miss my Tennessee home When your wheelhouse is the land of cotton, The first time you leave it can be strange, it can be shocking Not everybody drives a truck, not everybody

Like it's our last dance I'll fall in love You're the only thing I know And I don't wanna let this go Close to you are I feel, feel like I'm at home Can't wait 'til we're alone We were built to last We were built like that Baby take my hand
