Barenaked Ladies - Home (acoustic version) lyrics

Side of the road I stopped and Picked up the pieces of your car You were just standing, speechless Knowing you'd never travel far That's what you do when someone's given up on you That's when I knew that I was giving up And giving in That's when I knew where I was That's when I knew that I was home Stuck in the middle of the road For better or worse we compromise You may have won my hand, dear But it was the consolation prize That's when I knew that I was running out on you That's what you do when time is running out And running down That's when I knew where I was That's when I knew that I was home Where does the heart reside If not where I lay my head? I could run but I'm petrified And choose this instead Again And again End of the road, I'm running And look back to survey where I'd been Someday I'll write and ask you If you could imagine what I'd seen How could you think that I could turn my back on you? How did you think this would be turning out? And turning around What could I do but call you? What could I do but call this home? That's when I knew where I was That's when I knew that I was home
