lyrics

When I Get Home
Well I’m sittin’ here waitin’
For your ghost to come to the door.
And take me to the places
I’ve already been before.

I don’t know where I’m goin’
But I know where I shouldn’t go.
Don’t know what I’m not knowin,’
But I do know what I know.

I know I don’t want you to be there when I get home.
And I don’t want you to follow me where I roam.
And I don’t wanna live in fear that you’re not gone.
No I don’t want you to be there when I’m home.

So many restless moments,
So many sleepless nights.
Not knowin’ if you’re comin’
Or leavin’ me tonight.

To go where you’ve been goin’
Into the great unknown.
Leavin’ me here moanin’ and groainin,’
Why don’t you just leave me alone.


Because I don’t want you to be there when I get home.
And I don’t want you to follow me when I roam.
And I don’t wanna live in fear that you’re not gone.
No I don’t want you to be there when I’m home.

You’re not helping me, you’re haunting me
You’re not helping me, you’re haunting me.
You’re not helping me, you’re haunting me
You’re not helping me, you’re haunting me.

You’re no longer helping me,
You’re hurting me.
So just let me be,
Let me leave.

So many years have gone now,
And the waiting’s gotten old.
Time can’t heal all wounds,
When so many truths remain untold.

I don’t know what I don’t know,
But that don’t matter anymore.
Cus I’m gettin’ out of town now,
Now I’m walkin’ out the door.

And I don’t want you to be there when I get home.
And I don't want you to follow me where I roam.
And I’m not gonna live in fear that you’re not gone.
Cus I’m not gonna let you be there when I’m home.
