Basically nothin' has changed

She explained

Were so happy you're home again

You take the winter

Back on your feet

Your bed is bein' made

And your father washed the sheets for you



So we talked a while

About all my wars

The smiles worse than I told you so

She said to wash up and get to bed

I knew the freedom I had learned

I'd learned quickly to forget



And nobody understands

And nobody seems to care

'Bout the compromise of a man

Comin' home after five long years

Givin' up after five long years



Unpack my bags in the livin' room

Smell the last of her sweet perfume

Came from the girl that went with the world that I traded in today

Just to live a safer way



And nobody understands

And nobody seems to care

'Bout the compromise of a man

Comin' home after five long years

Givin' up after five long years



She says your always welcome here

You'll never be alone

Perhaps that's now my greatest fear

I'll always call this home

This home
