2016: Change From My Pockets

Home

I spent years looking for a settlement
Wandering the streets without it
I spent years walking through doors, sleeping on the floors
Thinking I'd found it
With everything looping and cutting
And finding frays in the carpet
I'd only hoped some place would take me down
With every crashing I'd doubt it

And I thought I'd found it one day
Found it one day, a place to settle
And when I thought I'd really made it my way
No way, 'cause then the ceiling and I wrestled
On my restless heart, as it all crumbled
But when I saw you I didn't stumble
Because with him I'd found a place to shelter
But with you I've found a home

I spent months waiting on the balcony for somebody's returning
I spent months learning on the railing
Without knowing the ground floor was burning

And I thought I'd found in that place
In that place, a permanent calling
But when I held that hand the last day
The day the temperature had fallen
Like the burning house, we felt it all crumble
But when I saw you I didn't stumble
Because with him I'd found a place to shelter
But with you I've found a home

And I thought I'd found in his face
In his face, plentiful kindness
And when I fought for him to stay
I realized I'd suffered blindness
Right on your doorstep, covered in crumbles
There where I saw you I didn't stumble
Because with him I'd found a place to shelter
But with you I've found a home
