If You Lived Here

Rest a-here then yesterday
She's kicking up some dust
Patience ain't a virtue, babe
Patience is a must
A record of curt love letters
Find the writer's words
She's dares me on the telephone
She says, come on, baby, who'll flare up first

If you lived here you'd be home by now
Anyhow, anyway
If you lived here you'd be home by now
Any day

Well, I'm never where my heart is
Even when I'm home
Well, not so much for the rambling
But is the feeling low?
Well, I'd light up for anything
Yeah, I'd light up all day
When I get my mind made up for me
If the sky's in front of me, get out of my way

If you lived here you'd be home by now
Anyhow, anyway
If you lived here you'd be home by now
Any day

If all or some of my indecision, that's what I felt
Put it in a corner stored with lies and guilt
I may remember my living in pain
Well, the roads have got us all wondering
What d'you think you're gonna do
Where else you gonna go
I may not be the man you want
But I'm the only man you know
Well, she gathered up all her jack-o-lanterns
She took 'em on out to the woods
And she kicked in all the carved-out faces
Of our little neighbourhood

If you lived here you'd be home by now
Anyhow, anyway
If you lived here you'd be home by now
Any time, any day

If you lived here you'd be home by now
Anyhow, anyway
If you lived here you'd be home by now
Any time, any day
