These Are Just Years
Idlewild · Other Songs - Idlewild
I thought home is where we went when we fell out of favour
I've since learnt that home is where we go to learn what favours are
Home is a language we all understand
And this is how the language came to me
I realise home is where we don't feel things
Fortune has arranged that the language won't abandon us
It never will abandon us
If you don't miss your home
I can't remember much about my home
When I'm away from...
Home, where we're welcome
We appear to be like you
Then we're welcome when we
Appear to be alike
Living in fiction
Just seems much better than living in words
If you live in fiction
Home's no match for a word
Ever existence
The more you go on the same as before
The more you light up the same as this time
The more you sing
All your songs about
All your...
Living in fiction
Is much more better than living in words
If you live in fiction
Home's much better than words
Living in fiction
Just seems much better than living in words
If you live in fiction
Then home's no better than words
I'm in fiction
And what I see, it seems so standard
It always seems that you're left stranded
Why don't you look beyond the village wall?
Look beyond the village wall
We've got four walls at home
We've got four walls at home
And these walls around your head
That's what they are
They're walls around your head
An empty head is creative
And direct me
To where you come from
And what you thought you knew
Where you come from
I absolutely have no opinion of . . . home!
Home is the most overused word
Home is the most overused word
Home is the most overused word
Home is the most overused word
Love is the most overused word
Just are the most overused words
Picture this, the most overused word
You are the most overused word
I leave the most overused word
I thank the most overused word
Music's the most overused word
Time is the most overused word
This is the most overused word
Moment's the most overused word
Moment's the most overused word
The most overused word
The most overused word
But not as much as home
And where you come from
But not as much as home
And where you come from
Not as much as home
Nothing tells you so much more than home
I've since learnt that home is where we go to learn what favours are
Home is a language we all understand
And this is how the language came to me
I realise home is where we don't feel things
Fortune has arranged that the language won't abandon us
It never will abandon us
If you don't miss your home
I can't remember much about my home
When I'm away from...
Home, where we're welcome
We appear to be like you
Then we're welcome when we
Appear to be alike

Living in fiction
Is much more better than living in words
