Yeah, I’ve been looking from the outside in
I met so many people I would rather be
To have a home where I would fit right in
And never question where the next trap is
‘Cause when I travel I feel just the same
As in my living room, the fact remains
That my apartments never change all the ways that I feel safe ‘cause I’ve been insecure for days about the happiness that I crave
And I can sleep anywhere I rest my head
I’ve been hardened by hardwood floors
But what I’d give for just one sleepless night
In a warm bed that feels like home
Take away all the furniture and our broken kitchen sink
‘Cause I would live in a shoebox if it finally gave me rest
‘Cause I don’t come with a manual and parts
Got no idea why I keep falling apart
A happy few of you keep me around
Not as a night light but part of the house
You drive for miles just to talk for a while
Need you to know that I appreciate the time and place that we’re gonna build some day, ‘cause the fact remains that it’s just happiness I crave
And every year the family table changes, different faces
But what I’d give to be that same old smile
You wake up to by your side
Take away all the furniture and our broken kitchen sink
‘Cause I would live in a shoebox if it finally gave me rest
‘Cause I’ve been bruised, I’ve been battered, I’ve been used, I’ve been shattered
I got buried like a casket, stabbed by my best friends
Every single one of you abuse my smile and take the parts worthwhile that you can use for a while while you throw me at the wayside, hope you’re sleeping at night, knowing that a human being died for your peace of mind if I don’t think of you again until you crawl right back
Take away all the furniture and our broken kitchen sink
‘Cause I would live in a shoebox if it finally gave me
Finally gave me rest
