house of boxes

i came home to a house of boxes

neatly labeled holding everything i own

in 24 hours i was on the road

miles away from the place i had called home

leaving the only life i knew

believing that what we had was true

and i never expected to be here

i'm not even sure where i am

and i don't know where i am going

but as long as i'm holding your hand

i'm already home

the american dream

a house and kids

we started with both and a little overwhelmed

and love was a bonus on the better days

and a buoy when we thought that we might drown

survival was an unpredicted joy

and i never expected to be here

i'm not even sure where i am

and i don't know where i am going

but as long as i'm holding your hand

i'm already home

a place i'm safe

a place i'm known

i'm already home

wherever you are is where i finally belong

i'm already home

and i never expected to be here

i'm not even sure where i am

and i don't know where i am going

but as long as i'm holding your hand

i'm already home

i came home to a house of boxes

neatly labeled holding everything we own
