lyrics

Telephone lines and the highway signs, remind me wherever I go
that I've been uprooted, beaten and booted, my roots never really regrow
now leavings not very hard, but you know what the hardest part is?
if home is where the heart is... then I must be heartless.

There's a hole in the fence, where I can crawl through
and go looking for you
cut myself on the branches, there's no second chances
the blood won't turn back to blue
now I've ventured very far into waters uncharted
and if home is where the heart is... then I'm broken-hearted

There's a house at the end of a dead-end road
that's been scheduled for demolition
the basement is flooded, the place has been gutted
and the roof is caving in
and I'd rather burn it down then wait for the man--
to come around
and if home is where the heart is... then my heart's been burned to the ground
and if home is where the heart is then I must be heartless.
