Story Behind The Song

I wrote this one after the relationship was over, because I wanted to capture what it was like when it was at its best. It actually contributed to a relapse with the girl in question, so there's an experiment for you songwriters out there -- write about the good stuff if you want the girl back!

Song Description

Laid-back tune about the feel-good aspect of a relationship. Bright, cheery, key of G, but with slight hints that something might not be awesome about the relationship.

Lyrics

the neighbors are about to start complainin' 'bout the noise in this room
it's 'cause we keep 'em up for hours and it's always over too soon

our bodies' conversations
ride a special cadence
rising 'til we crash to the floor
we smile and hold each other
underneath the covers
flirting 'til we're ready once more
when we're alone
you make me feel like i'm home

my friends at work all tell me i should split before i'm caught in your web
you might as well be tryin' to kill the roaches just by sayin' they're dead

well it may be that the crazy ways that you behave imbue you with a charm all your own
i'm trying not to overanalyze the situation but it's all that i know
when we're alone
you make me feel like i'm home

leave the window open
baby it's too warm to be fall
i feel like i'm home
finally the bitter loneliness i've felt for so long
has nowhere to go
you make me feel like i'm home

after so long
and how far i've roamed
i'm finally home
