House Of Boxes

(album: How To Be Loved - 2012)

I came home to a house of boxes
Neatly labeled holding everything I own
In 24 hours I was on the road
Miles away from the place I had called home
Leaving the only life I knew
Believing that what we had was true

And I never expected to be here
I'm not even sure where I am
And I don't know where I am going
But as long as I'm holding your hand
I'm already home

The American dream, a house and kids
We started with both and a little overwhelmed
And love was a bonus on the better days
And a buoy when we thought that we might drown
Survival was an unpredicted joy

And I never expected to be here
I'm not even sure where I am
And I don't know where I am going
But as long as I'm holding your hand
I'm already home

A place I'm safe, A place I'm known
I'm already home
Wherever you are is where I finally belong
I'm already home

And I never expected to be here
I'm not even sure where I am
And I don't know where I am going
But as long as I'm holding your hand
I'm already home

I came home to a house of boxes
Neatly labeled holding everything we own
