A tender breakup song about still feeling someone’s presence in everyday moments, loving them enough to let them go, and holding space for the possibility of coming back home.
Lyrics
Doing the dishes this morning
When the gray of the day broke me down
Guess my tears are far from done
For whatever the reason
I can still feel you around
Though I’m standing here alone
How many times did we lift up our eyes and say yes
How many times did we say “our whole lives”
Did we say our whole lives
Like I told you
I don’t want to hold you back
You must believe me
Whenever you want me back
Ah, this is home
Met our friends on the weekend
And they asked me how I am
Not sure what they need to know
I want to ask them about you
But I’m not really sure if I can
I know I’m not ready
Ready to just let this go
How many times did we lift up our eyes and say yes
How many times did we say our whole lives
Did we say our whole lives
Like I told you
I don’t want to hold you back
You must believe me
Whenever you want me back
Ah, this is
Not about blame
Yes, we both want the best
And we both can be happy
Okay
It’s right or it’s wrong
Doesn’t matter
I want you to stay
It’s like I told you
I don’t want to hold you back
You must believe me
Whenever you want me back
It’s like I told you
I don’t want to hold you back
You must believe me
Whenever you want me back
Ah, this is home
Ah, this is home
Ah, this is home
Ah, this is home
Ah, this is home
