Home Life

Lyrics

I think I'm gonna stay home
 Have myself a home life
 Sitting in the slow-mo
 And listening to the daylight
 I am not a nomad
 I am not a rocket man
 I was born a house cat
 By the slight of my mother's hand
 I think I'm gonna stay home
 I want to live in the center of a circle
 I want to live on the side of a square
 I used to be in my M to Z now
 You'll never find me 'cause my name isn't there
 Home life
 Been holding out for a home life
 My whole life
 ♪
 I want to see the end game
 I want to learn her last name
 Finish on a Friday
 And sit in traffic on the highway
 See, I refuse to believe
 That my life's gonna be
 Just some string of incompletes
 Never to lead me to anything remotely close to a home life
 Been holding out for the home life
 My whole life
 ♪
 I can tell you this much
 I will marry just once
 And if it doesn't work out
 Give her half of my stuff
 It's fine with me
 We said eternity
 And I will go to my grave
 With the life that I gave
 Not just some melody line
 On a radio wave
 It dissipates
 And soon evaporates
 But home life doesn't change (home life doesn't change)
 I want to live in the center of a circle
 I want to live on the side of a square
 I'd love to walk to where we both can talk but
 I've got to leave 'cause my ride is here
 In my home life
 You take the home life
 You keep the home life
 I'll come back for the home life
 I promise
 Home life I promise, life
 Home life, home life
