lyrics
I think I can remember now
What it’s like to love you
It’s not that I was wandering
I just couldn’t stick around.
And I’m sorry that, by leaving like I did
I know I probably hurt you
It’s not a choice that I made lightly
I felt like I had too.
Home means something new
It’s the place where there is more of me
And somehow also of you.
I listen to the songs we used to sing
They still mean so much to me
Their words in all their complication
Like life rafts in my soul
But I can’t sing a single word
Without the thought of your voice singing with me
That’s how they wrote the good ones
To be sung with the ones you know completely.
Home means something new
It’s the place where there is more of me
And somehow also of you.
Home, it’s where you learn to love at first.
Home, it’s where you learn to love while hurt.
What it’s like to love you
It’s not that I was wandering
I just couldn’t stick around.
And I’m sorry that, by leaving like I did
I know I probably hurt you
It’s not a choice that I made lightly
I felt like I had too.
Home means something new
It’s the place where there is more of me
And somehow also of you.
I listen to the songs we used to sing
They still mean so much to me
Their words in all their complication
Like life rafts in my soul
But I can’t sing a single word
Without the thought of your voice singing with me
That’s how they wrote the good ones
To be sung with the ones you know completely.
Home means something new
It’s the place where there is more of me
And somehow also of you.
Home, it’s where you learn to love at first.
Home, it’s where you learn to love while hurt.
