Home Life



I think I'm gonna stay home

Have myself a home life

Sitting in the slow-mo

And listening to the daylight

I am not a nomad

I am not a rocket man

I was born a housecat

By the slight of my mother's hand



I think I'm gonna stay home



I want to live in the center of a circle

I want to live on the side of a square

I used to be in my M-Z now

You'll never find me cause my name isn't there



Home life

Been holding out for the home life

My whole life



I want to see the end game

I want to learn her last name

Finish on a Friday

And sit in traffic on the highway

See, I refuse to believe

That my life's gonna be

Just some string of incompletes

Never to lead me to anything remotely close to a home lfe



What will this fix?

You know you're not a quick forgive

And I won't sleep through this

I survive on the breath you are finished with



You can be mad in the morning

Or the afternoon instead

But don't leave me

98 and 6 degrees of separation from you, baby

Come back to bed



Don't hold your love over my head











Been holding out for the home life

My whole life



I can tell you this much

I will marry just once

And if it doesn't work out

Give her half of my stuff

It's fine with me

We said eternity

And I will go to my grave

With the life that I gave

Not just some melody line

On a radio wave

It dissipates

And soon evaporates

But home life doesn't change



I want to live in the center of a circle

I want to live on the side of a square

I'd love to walk to where we both can talk but

I've got to leave you cause my ride is here



Home life

You keep the home life

You take the home life

I'll come back for the home life

I promise
