Side of the road I stopped at
Picked 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 that 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'd 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
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 had to fight
And choose this instead,
Again
And again

End of the road I'm running
Look back to survey where I've been
Someday I'll write and ask you
If you could 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
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.
