Cold Years - Home

I grew up in a small town, miles from everything
The kinda place where you live and die
There was never any room to breathe
Two roads in and two roads out
Settle down, get a wife, pretend you're free
No one cares what you do for a living
Just as long as you've got a degree

Looking at my life, in boxes on the floor
Lay awake all night, staring at the door

Home, so many years tryna run away
I wasted all my time on regrets who did nothing at all for me
Home, not what it was at twenty-one
Home is where the heart is, so I packed up and moved on

Look at your dreams they scream
A streetcar named desire
You can watch your whole career
Burning on the oil pyre

Looking at my life, in boxes on the floor
Lay awake all night, staring at the door

Home, so many years tryna run away
I wasted all my time on regrets who did nothing at all for me
Home, not what it was at twenty-one
Home is where the heart is, so I packed up and moved on

I don't hate it, I just can't stand it
I need to face down my own mistakes
I guess I've always been abandoned
It's time I changed the stakes

Home, so many years tryna run away
I wasted all my time on regrets who did nothing at all for me
Home, not what it was at twenty-one
Home is where the heart is, so I packed up and moved on

Home, so many years tryna run away
I wasted all my time on regrets who did nothing at all for me
Home, not what it was at twenty-one
Home is where the heart is, so I packed up and moved on
