Standin' here on this old familiar porch,

I know this welcome mat ain't meant for me.

I can't believe you even opened up the door:

You always were much too kind to me.

I don't know how I wound up here,

I was nowhere in the neighborhood.


In this house on this street,

We had a chance to live a dream:

I'd go back and get it right if I could.

'Cause I was here but I was gone:

How could I get so much so wrong?

Now I know a home is more than bricks an' wood.

There's so much of love I thought I understood,

But I was nowhere in the neighborhood.


I had everything a man could ever want,

But still I was not satisfied.

A fool would drink from some forbidden cup,

Until he's drunk on his own lies.

Yeah, I believed I could live two lives:

I was nowhere in the neighborhood.

No, no.
