[Verse 1]
I'm sick of living lies, and I'm sick of the suspense
I can't tell you much, but I can tell you I'm content
I'm living on the fence, I'm living with the fear
I'm glad that you're happy but I'm sad you're not here
Wherever you steer, wherever you go
I swear that you'll always find a home
Never be alone, just follow your heart
It'll always lead you right back to the start
You are so smart, don't ever give up
I've never known you to be anything but tough
Never gave a f**, always played it cool
Surpa**ed anything I ever tried to do in school
Or even in the pool, you even beat me at that
I miss all those times that I'll never get back
I guess I kinda act, a little insecure
But you made me stronger, you were my cure
Memories all blurred, they seem to fade away
What I wouldn't give to have you home another day
There isn't really much left for me to say
But what it is, I gotta get it out the way
[Hook]
But when you come home I won't be here
Life blurs, and music makes it clear
I have people telling me I should stay
I can't stick around for another day
Come visit me when you have break
This isn't for fun, it's my life essay
I can't really see any other way
I can't stick around for another day
[Verse 2]
I spent the other day trying to think about the past
All the sh** we did, and the fun we used to have
I always came in last and you always came in first
Competed for everything ever since birth
Playing on the turf, or when we played hoops
I would be so close but then I would just lose
And then you got rude, you turned into a prick
And I was so scared that you'd throw me off a cliff
Push me in a ditch, you wanted me dead
I remember when you threw that rock at my head
I fell into the pond and that water all red
Always outside, now I don't get out of bed
And you still joke how I used to pronounce words
True brother sh** never really occurred
I feel we weren't close until a little bit ago
And I was so excited when I knew you were home
The smile on your face when I showed you my bowl
Never any years we were really that close
I wish it was so, you left anyway
What I wouldn't give to have you home another day
There isn't really much left for me to say
But what it is, I gotta get it out the way
I gotta get it out the way
