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
