Side of the road, I stop and   Pick up the pieces of your car   You were just standing speechless   Knowing you'd never travel far      That's what you do when someone's given up on you   That's when I knew I was giving up, giving in   That's when I knew where I was   That's when I knew that I was home      Stuck in the middle of the road   For better or worse we compromise   You may have won my hand dear   But it was the consolation prize      That's what you do when time is running out on you   That's when I knew that I was running out and running down   That's when I knew where I was   That's when I knew that I was home      Where does the heart reside   If not where I lay my head?   I could run but I'm petrified   And choose this instead   Again and again      End of the road I'm running   And look back to survey where I've been   Someday I'll write and ask you   If you can imagine all I've seen      How did you think that I could turn my back on you?   How did you think this would be turning out and turning round?   What could I do but call you?   What could I do but call this home?   That's when I knew where I was   That's when I knew that I was home
