Over the back wall and into the house

There’s nobody home yet

Might as well stick up my feet for a moment

Remember you told me this house is a home

It hasn’t felt that way in years, I’m alone

I’m trying to hold back the tears of a man

But I don’t understand why that other one

Would want to turn me away

Now I hear church bells ringing

And you’re no longer singing

Down through the lane is where I should call home

Looks like I’ll have to make one of my own

I swear I’ll be better

Bеtter or worse

Therе’s a picture of me

One that I haven’t seen

From the day that we spent on the beach

Next to a picture of him, tryna hold back a grin

And a flag just beyond his reach

Why doesn’t he smile at me?

What is it I’ve done, if I just could see?

I’d never run from that part of me

Buried my head in the sand

Now I hear footsteps coming

And I feel like just running

But I tell myself he’s just a man

Maybe he’ll understand

But he just asks what I’m doing here

That’s when my heart turned cold

When I was young, I got old

Down through the lane is where I should call home

Looks like I’ll have to make one of my own

I swear I’ll be better

Better or worse

Now I hear church bells ringing

And you’re no longer singing

Down through the lane is where I should call home

It looks like I’ll have to make one of my own

I swear I’ll be better

Better or worse
