Idlewild: These Are Just Years

i thought home is where we went when we fell out of favour
ive since learned that home is where we go to learn what favours are
home is a language we all understand
and this is how the language came to me
i realise
home is where we dont feel things
fortune has arranged that the language wont abandon us
it never will abandon us
if you dont miss your home

i cant remember much about my home
when im away from...

home, where were welcome
we appear to be like you
the were welcome when we
appear to be alike

living in fiction
just seems much better than living in words
if you live in fiction
homes no match for a word

ever existence
the more you go on the same as before
the more you light up the same as this time
the more you sing
all your songs about
all your...

living in fiction
is much more better than living in words
if you live in fiction
homes much better than words

living in fiction
just seems much better than living in words
if you live in fiction
then homes no better than words

im in fiction (x6)

and what i see it seems so standard
it always seems that youre left stranded (x6)

why dont you look beond
the village wall?
look beyond the village wall
weve got four walls at home
got four walls at home
and these walls around your head
thats what they are
theyre walls around your head
an empty head is creative
and direct me
to where you come from
and what you thought you knew
where you come from

(I absolutely have no opinion of . . . home!)

home is the most overused word (x4)
love is the most overused word
just are the most overused words
picture this the most overused word
you are the most overused word
i leave the most overused word
i thank the most overused word
musics the most overused word
time is the most overused word
this is the most overused word
moments the most overused word
moments the most overused word
the most overused word
the most overused word
but not as much as home
and where you come from
but not as much as home
and where you come from
not as much as home
nothing tells you so much more than home
