Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said, “I need you most”
I said, “I need you now”
Like needing was enough
To keep it all from burning down
Pictures in the hallway
Coffee rings beside the bed
A thousand little promises
We never had to say
We lost our way back home
But out there found ourselves
Funny how you lose somebody
Trying not to lose yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, we had it all
All we’d ever need
A life that other people
Only thought was made of dreams
But who knew
We were missing something more?
Something we thought we had
Something we were longing for
[Chorus]
Maybe home was never four walls
Maybe home was being known
Maybe love ain’t staying somewhere
Just because you’re scared to go
We had everything we prayed for
Still, something didn’t feel right
You were sleeping right beside me
I was missing you at night
I’d give back all the good years
Just to understand them more
How we had everything we wanted
And still wanted something more
[Verse 2]
Boxes in the basement
Full of lives we used to live
Old birthday cards and photographs
Of everything we had to give
We got good at saying, “I’m fine”
Good at making them believe
That a house full of pretty things
Means there’s nothing underneath
You’d ask me what I needed
I’d say, “Nothing, I’m alright”
There’s a special kind of lonely
Missing someone by your side
[Pre-Chorus]
We had it all
Or that’s what everybody said
But nobody heard the silence
When we climbed into that bed
And who knew
You could love somebody more
And still stand in the kitchen
Wondering what you’re searching for?
[Chorus]
Maybe home was never four walls
Maybe home was being known
Maybe love ain’t staying somewhere
Just because you’re scared to go
We had everything we prayed for
Still, something didn’t feel right
You were sleeping right beside me
I was missing you at night
I’d give back all the good years
Just to understand them more
How we had everything we wanted
And still wanted something more
[Bridge]
I drove until the streetlights
Turned to stars above the pines
Your voice inside my head
Both hands shaking on the wheel that night
You said, “I need you most”
God, I wish I’d heard you then
You weren’t asking me to save you
You were asking to be let in
Maybe I was, too
Maybe that’s the hardest part
We spent years building a life
And forgot to build a place
For both our hearts
[Final Chorus]
Maybe home was never four walls
Maybe home was me and you
Maybe losing our forever
Was the only way we knew
To find the people we’d forgotten
Under everything we’d made
Under mortgages and memories
And all the roles we learned to play
If you ever lose your way back
And you’re somewhere on that road
Don’t look for me in that old house
Or the life we used to know
I’ll be somewhere past the streetlights
Where the dark gives way to dawn
We lost our way back home, love
But maybe we were never lost at all
[Outro]
You said, “I need you most”
I said, “I need you now”
We had everything we wanted
We just didn’t know
What we couldn’t live without.
