lyrics

Looking in the garden, and mama isn’t there
Dad’s got a new wrinkle, and a full head of grey hair
The backyard’s a mess, yeah it don’t impress
But I still you standing there in that sparkly red prom dress

Driving North Park Drive, used to be a two lane street
Rode my bike to the corner where we’d secretly meet
But that bench where we first held hands, now it’s a liquor store
Home don’t feel like home anymore

Under all these streetlights, you can barely see the stars
Take me back to when we could drive an hour and not see any cars
Life felt so much simpler before
But home don’t feel like home anymore

Remember when we used to know our neighbours down the road?
We’d catch the same bus, take the same route, since we were 10 years old
Now there’s gridlock, stuck in rush hour, man we never rushed before
All these changes leave a feeling that you just can’t ignore

The food court where we’d take our breaks, dipping fries in chocolate shakes
Getting caught smoking out back, free to make our young mistakes
All replaced by fancy stores, all these things I can’t afford
Home don’t feel like home anymore

Under all these streetlights, you can barely see the stars
Take me back to when we could drive an hour and not see any cars
Life felt so much simpler before
But home don’t feel like home anymore

Maybe I’m just a romantic or a sentimental sap
But you and I’ve been going strong since before this town was on the map

Under all these streetlights, you can barely see the stars
Take me back to when we could drive an hour and not see any cars
Life felt so much simpler before
But home don’t feel like home anymore
You and I still live in young love like before
Even though home don’t feel like home anymore
Home don’t feel like home anymore
