House of Boxes

I came home to a house of boxes

Neatly labeled holding everything I own

In 24 hours I was on the road

Miles away from the place I had called home

Leaving the only life I knew

Believing that what we had was true

And I never expected to be here

I'm not even sure where I am

And I don't know where I am going

But as long as I'm holding your hand

I'm already home

The American dream, a house and kids

We started with both and a little overwhelmed

And love was a bonus on the better days

And a buoy when we thought that we might drown

Survival was an unpredicted joy

And I never expected to be here

I'm not even sure where I am

And I don't know where I am going

But as long as I'm holding your hand

I'm already home

A place I'm safe, A place I'm known

I'm already home

Wherever you are is where I finally belong

I'm already home

And I never expected to be here

I'm not even sure where I am

And I don't know where I am going

But as long as I'm holding your hand

I'm already home

I came home to a house of boxes

Neatly labeled holding everything we own
