Home Is Where the Heart Aches

Hear the ping, put the phone face down
Hide my grin as my heart pounds
Stolen moments, precious seconds
Behind locked doors

Hear the ping, put the phone face down
Hold my breath as my heart pounds
Walk on eggshells, plan my words
Jump at every sound

We watch the time, whatever it may be
Enjoy a world where it's just you and me
Living love songs, soft and slow
Sharing secrets only we can know

Robbing clocks like we're Bonnie and Clyde
On the run just enjoying the ride
Just you and me, the world in-between
Will we get away with everything we've been?

Home is where the heart aches
But it's all I've ever known
Once believed it was my dream
But with you that dream has grown

Home is where the heart lies
Feelings I can never show
When what should feel wrong feels right
Wish that I could spend the night
But I have to go

Homemade dinner, sitcoms on TV
Change the bulb that's been dead for weeks
Close lipped, goodnight kisses
I'll be up soon

Order pizza as a special treat
Screens are off, homework's complete
Bedtime stories, goodnight kisses
I'll be up soon

Could you give up all that you had planned
When no one you know would understand?
Could you live a lie hiding who you'd be
With no one to trust or confide in but me?

We live under covers, our blinders on
Don't look ahead or it could be gone
Where do we draw the line that we've already crossed
When whatever we choose is too great a cost?

Home is where the heart aches
But it's all I've ever known
Once believed it was my dream
But with you that dream has grown

Home is where the heart lies
Feelings I can never show
When what should feel wrong feels right
Wish that I could spend the night
But I have to go

When you find forever too late
You can't help but make mistakes
And you can't let go when it's more than you can take
When you find how life should be
And you finally feel free
How do you go back to what you thought was happy?

Home is where the heart aches
But it's all I've ever known
Once believed it was my dream
But with you that dream has grown

Home is where the heart lies
Feelings I can never show
When what should feel wrong feels right
Wish that I could spend the night
