Home as we know it going
Worn out and overgrown
Take what you came for knowing
The floors that bore you are cold as a winter stone
(The proudest storms have fallen short of this!)
And we were so young singing "slow down"
Don't you know when you go
This time next year I'll be here to find what you left out
(We were taken, we were gone!)
Careful to do this softly
Waiting to hold your own
This year had almost lost me
Slow as a picture show that no one knows
(The smallest hands have been abandoned!)
And we were so young singing "slow down"
Don't you know when we go
This time next year I'll be here to find what you left out
(We were taken, we were gone!)
[instrumental/vocalizations] And we were so young singing "slow down" Home as we know it, home as we know it Don't you know when you go this time next year I'll be here to find what you left out Worn out and overgrown And we were so young singing “slow down” Take what you came for, take what you came for Don't you know when you go this time next year I'll be here to find what you left out Floors that bore you are cold And we were taken, we were gone
