Since You Left Home On Your Journey, Things Have Changed Around Here Lyrics & Chords By Empire! Empire! (i Was A Lonely Estate)

It was fall when we came back
from a failed transplant out in Southern California

I remember crossing the border to Michigan
and feeling my heart almost leap out of my chest-
I was back home, I felt whole again

I turned to Cathy, and she was beaming too

We laughed and talked about how it was so true that
you can never really appreciate home
until you truly leave it

and how looking for something and not finding it
can sometimes lead you to finding out that you've had it all along
