Verse 1

Basically nothin' has changed

She explained

We're so happy you're home again

You take the winter

 To get back on your feet

 Your bed is bein' made

 And your father washed the sheets for you

Verse 2

So we talked a while

 About all my woes

Their smiles worse than I told you so's

 When she said to wash up and get to bed

 I knew the freedom I had learned

 I'd learn quickly to forget

 And nobody understands

 And nobody seems to care

 'Bout the compromise of a man

 Comin' home after five long years

 Givin' up after five long years

Unpacked my bags in the livin' room

Smell the last of a sweet perfume

Came from the girl that went with the world that I traded in today

 Just to live a safer way

 And nobody understands

 And nobody seems to care

 'Bout the compromise of a man

 Comin' home after five long years

 Givin' up after five long years

 She says you're always welcome here

 You'll never be alone

 Perhaps that's now my greatest fear

 I'll always call this home

 This home
