It's one hundred and nine degrees in this crowded room No room to breathe with walls as cold as a gallery This is no place for me Such hard faces in smoke The smell lingers in my clothes It's a bad night to be alone But that's the way it goes
And I think of you whenever life gets me down I think of you whenever you're not around And you rest your bones Somewhere far from my house Yeah, but you still pull me home
I thought I had it figured out in a brand new life With a great big house And green initials on the towels I should be happy now Well, you got yourself a family And you planted roots down by the sea I saw you once on the street You didn't notice me
But I think of you whenever life gets me down I think of you whenever you're not around You rest your bones Somewhere far from my house Yeah, but you still pull me home
Just to put your mind at ease You don't owe me anything You paid me well in memories
And I think of you whenever life gets me down I think of you whenever you're not around And you rest your bones Somewhere far from my house Yeah, but you still pull me home You still pull me home You still pull me home
