Seventeen, I thought I had it all figured out
I and me was everything I cared about
Have you ever felt that life had left you behind？
I thought I knew myself once upon a time
Now my heart is beating faster
And all I see is empty pastures
Wondering where I left yesterday
Everything I thought fulfilled me
Learning what I really have to say
Homebound, there is no road too long
Homebound, I've written you a song
Homebound, in every tear I cried
Homebound, is all my love my might
Little boy grew to a man and he figured out
Everyone is trying to survive the doubt
Children will one day grow older and change their minds
The world ain't made up of single file lines
And I ain't getting any younger
I'm clinging to my sense of wonder
Swear to God I'll never let it die
I would lose my will to be there
The kid in me deserves to see the light
Homebound, there is no road too long
Homebound, I've written you a song
