nowhere in the neighborhood

standin' here on this old familiar porch

i know this welcome mat ain't meant for me. i can't believe you even opened up the door: you always were much too kind to me. i don't know how i wound up here

i was nowhere in the neighborhood. in this house on this street

we had a chance to live a dream: i'd go back and get it right if i could. 'cause i was here but i was gone: how could i get so much so wrong?

now i know a home is more than bricks an' wood. there's so much of love i thought i understood

but i was nowhere in the neighborhood. i had everything a man could ever want

but still i was not satisfied. a fool would drink from some forbidden cup

until he's drunk on his own lies. yeah

i believed i could live two lives: i was nowhere in the neighborhood. in this house on this street

we had a chance to live a dream: i'd go back and get it right if i could. 'cause i was here but i was gone: how could i get so much so wrong?

now i know a home is more than bricks an' wood. there's so much of love i thought i understood

but i was nowhere in the neighborhood. 'cause i was here but i was gone: how could i get so much so wrong?

now i know a home is more than bricks an' wood. there's so much of love i thought i understood

yeah

i was nowhere in the neighborhood. nowhere in the neighborhood. no

no.
