[Lyrics]
(1) 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
(2) 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-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
(1) 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 home life
(2b) Been holding out for a home life
My whole life
F5
I can tell you this much
II will marry just once
C
And if it doesn't work out
Give her half of my stuff
A
It's fine with me
Dsus2/B
We said eternity
F5
And I will go to my grave
With the life that I gave
C
Not just some melody line
On a radio wave
A
It dissipates
Dsus2/B
And soon evaporates
F5
But home life doesn't change
(2) 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 can both talk but
I've got to leave you cause my ride is here
Home life
You keep the home life
You take the home life
I'll come back for the home life
I promise
(1)
