lyrics

There are a lot of things that I don’t know,
But I’m on my own so I’ve got to go.
And there are a lot of songs that I can sing,
That will surely bring me back to home.

‘Cause in my soul and in my heart,
I know that we’re not far apart,
‘Cause shining brightly from afar,
You’ll guide me home,
You’re my north star.

There were a lot of things I didn’t like,
But I changed my mind as the time went by.
And there is a constant flow of energy,
Connecting you and me like a destiny.

‘Cause every little thing that you say or do,
Everything you feel, well I feel it too.
And every single time that I feel this way,
Well I hope and pray that you feel the same.

Whoa, and I never should have let go,
Whoa, ‘cause now you’ve gone away.
And whoa, well I’ve never felt this before,
Whoa, ‘cause now I’m here to stay.

And there were a lot of times when I was wrong,
But I still kept strong, yeah I’m keepin’ on.
And I know that everyone has got their woes,
But it isn’t hard just to let them go.

‘Cause every little thing that you say or do,
Everything you need, well I need it too.
And every single time that I feel this way,
Well I hope and pray that you feel the same.

Whoa, and I never should have let go,
Whoa, ‘cause now you’ve gone away.
And whoa, well I’ve never felt this before,
Whoa, ‘cause now I’m here to stay.
Yeah, I’m here to stay,
And I feel this way,
‘Cause I’m here to stay.

Dear Natalie,
I miss you, I miss you.
Your memory is tearing me up inside.

Dear former love,
Erase me, erase me.
We all move on, this isn’t Hollywood anymore.

Whoa.
Well I forgot how it feels to be home.
Whoa.
Well I never wanted to go.
Whoa.
So this is how it feels to be alone.

Well I guess I brought this upon myself.

Well I’ve been holding for too damn long,
And I’m ready to let go.
So come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!
Let’s dance.
We’re gonna leave this town tonight.
The bells are ringin’ ‘and we’re finally goin’ home.

And I was a writer,
And I was a poet,
And I really loved her,
But you never showed it.
And as I remember,
The problem was clearly our differences split us apart
Oh no, no.

Christmas morning we awoke
To find our son had left his home.

Well, everything I say,
And everything I do,
And every move I make
Just reminds me of you.

And I’m writing to let you know
How much I miss you so,
But now that I’m on my own
I’ve finally found my home,

I’ve finally found my home.
