about

this song is about fathers.

lyrics

The backyard is barren now
And the grass has grown gray
But we still have each other
To keep nightfall away
The basement has flooded
And washed us clean
The picture frame is empty
But full of memories

The view from the window
Is a city that is cold
But inside by the fire
Is where our stories will be told
As the car leaves the driveway
Of the place we called home
We’re free now to see
Just how far we can roam

And what about the places
That we have yet to see?
And what about the people
That we have yet to meet?

And when all seems hopeless
Remember that they found water on Mars
And when the darkness is closing in
Remember to look up at the stars

The parking lots and side streets
That we now call home
Will serve as our base
Into parts unknown
When the quiet nights seem lonely
And your heart skips a beat
Know that this only
A new beginning

Although you may be tired
And aching for the start
Of something new and different
Before things fell apart
Remember that home
Is always in your heart
