Home - Barenaked Ladies

Side of the road, I stopped and

Picked up the pieces of your car

You were just standing, speechless

Knowing you’d never travel far

That’s what you do when someone’s given up on you

And that’s when I knew that I was giving up and giving in

That’s when I knew where I was

That’s when I knew that I was home

Stuck in the middle of the road

For better or worse, we compromise

You may have won my hand, dear

But it was the consolation prize

That’s when I knew that I was running out on you

That’s what you do when time is running out and running down

That’s when I knew where I was

That’s when I knew that I was home

Where does the heart reside

If not where I lay my head?

I could run but I’m petrified

And choose this instead

Again and again

End of the road I’m running

And look back to survey where I’d been

Someday I’ll write and ask you

If you could imagine what I’d seen

How could you think that I could turn my back on you?

How did you think this would be turning out?

And turning 'round

What could I do but you?

What could I do to call this home?

That’s when I knew where I was

That’s when I knew that I was home
