​you’ll always be home lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm leaving all that I've ever known
Fighting with time I can't postpone

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Playing with cars
Simple thrills but you did them with heart
Even when the world was falling apart
You'd never let me know, let me know

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm leaving all that I've ever known
Fighting with time I can't postpone

[Chorus]
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
