lyrics

Sweetheart you pick your homes just like you throw your stones:
On your own.
I am so sick of home. Train tickets like these were meant for me to go,
But now I’m tired and I’m stressed and completely overdressed
For the springtime.

When you call me at the office and say “Come on home,”
I don’t remember where we live, I just don’t know yet.
You say you miss me and you’re homesick,
Sycamore Lane.

You say “It’s a fancy hotel we’ve never heard of,
Don’t worry, it’s already paid for,”
I say “Great! Just what I need.
More debt is just what I need.”
But I know you well enough to know your smile over the phone
And if I were you I’d be pretty sick of me by now.
It’s a good thing that I’m not you!

All the rain can say is “No parade today!”
This house has character, but it’s kind of lame.
You say you like your houses,
Just like you like your husbands. So smile!

I love you remembered my record player!
My favorite 45s!
I love you remembered yourself!
I love you remembered
I love fireplaces!

When you call me at the office, say “Come on home,”
I don’t remember where we live, I just don’t know yet.
You say you miss me and you’re homesick
Sycamore Lane.
