you'll always be home

I know it's hard Didn't think we'd ever get to the part Where we'd have to live our lives far apart But here we are And isn't it strange Only 5 candles on the cake Pretty sure that was yesterday I'm growing older But I'll wish that i'm filling your shoes I'm leaving all that I've ever known Fighting with time I can't postpone I don't wanna leave But I know that it's time to Please know that I'll always call you When I don't feel like myself I'll still have your picture frame on my shelf You'd stand up for me In a room full of empty seats Even when nobody's watching So now that we're having to let go I'll pack up my boxes with lessons you told You'll always be home Playing with cars Simple thrills but you did them with heart Even when the world was falling apart You'd never let me know I'm leaving all that I've ever known Fighting with time I can't postpone I don't wanna leave But I know that it's time to Please know that I'll always call you When I don't feel like myself I'll still have your picture frame on my shelf You'd stand up for me In a room full of empty seats Even when nobody's watching So now that we're having to let go I'll pack up my boxes with lessons you told You'll always be home
