I wasn’t thinking, I only followed where my feet led
I turned the corner, I didn't notice what the sign said
Please understand I wasn't thinking about the past
I was just looking for a bed-sweet-bed
The house was empty, I could see the door was open
The bed was all made up, though the windows all were broken
Please understand I wasn't looking for a lover
Just some sweet words that were unspoken
Everything I needed was in that place, in that house
On your block, down your street, and far away
(Home, salty home, sour home, bitter home)
The cupboards were bare, and so I thought you would be long gone
The bathroom mirror showed me a ghost of your reflection
And then what happens but I find you at the porcelain throne
Praying to the dawn-sweet-dawn
I wasn't thinking, I'd gone before a man could count to five
I ran on empty, like a car that forgot just how to drive
Trying to get away, it seems this house is haunted
By a person who is still alive
Everything I needed was in that place, in that house
On your block, down your street, and far away
(Home, salty home, sour home, bitter home)
Off the map, off the charts, off the grid, far away
Out the door, down the road, long gone, and far away
