Homelife Lyrics
John Mayer
Think I'm gonna stay home
Have myself a homelife
Sittin' in the slow-mo
And listenin' to the daylight
I am not a nomad
I am not a rocket man
I was born a house cat
By the SLIGHT of my mother's hand
Think I'm gonna stay home
I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I used to be in my ?? SCENE
You'll never find me 'cause my name isn't there
Homelife
I'm holding out for the homelife
My homelife
I wanna see the ending
I wanna learn a last name
Finish on a Friday
And sit in traffic on the highway
See I refuse to believe
That my life's gonna be
Just some string of incompletes
Never to lead me to anything remotely close to a homelife
I'm holding out for A homelife
My homelife
I can tell you this MUCH, I will marry just once
And if it doesn't work out, I'll give her half of my stuff
It's fine with me
We said eternity
I will go to my grave, with the LOVE that I gave
Not just a melody line on a radio wave
It dissipates
And soon evaporates
Homelife doesn't change
I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I'd love to WALK TO WHERE we both can talk
But I've got to leave it 'cause my ride is here
And my homelife
You take a homelife
You keep a homelife
Come back for the homelife I promise
Homelife I promise
Life
Homelife
Homelife
