Intro
Verse One

It was late Halloween evening when I got into town

New place with new walls, and a call from you

After nine months and three weeks of being down

All I could do was think of you

Chorus

I'm feeling; and I'm thinking; and I'm allowing

For your love, to fill me up again

bouncy

And it all comes back to you,

And all my feelings fade from blue

And all this time I've been alone,

Baby you just feel like home to me

Verse Two

You look at the clock and say, "You know I need to go"

But I just hold you down and beg you not to go

After an hour or so, she was here for way too long

It's a beautiful day to a lonely night, and I sleep alone

ChorusSame as Chorus. Tap to open.

I'm feeling; and I'm thinking; and I'm allowing

For your love, to fill me up again

bouncy

And it all comes back to you,

And all my feelings fade from blue

And all this time I've been alone,

Baby you just feel like home to me

Verse Three

A familiar love is a hard love to lose

Supposing we're friends but I can't stop holding you

After the world stands still when the second act begins

No calls, my world silent once again

Chorus (Past Tense, Slow)Same as Chorus. Tap to open.

I'm feeling; and I'm thinking; and I'm allowing

For your love, to fill me up again

bouncy

And it all comes back to you,

And all my feelings fade from blue

And all this time I've been alone,

Baby you just feel like home to me
