"Home By Now" lyrics

Heard that you were selling your piano and your car
It feels so weird to not reach out and ask you how you are
I wonder if you're moving or if money's just that tight
These are the kinds of questions to which I've resigned my rights

Ever since
I decided
There were things
That I needed
That you couldn't give to me
But I'm still wondering

Would we have turned a corner if I had waited?
Do I need to lower my expectations?
If we'd kept heading the same direction
Would we be home by
Now I don't know if I'd been okay with
Holding out hope for your stack of rainchecks
If I had been able to grin and bear it
Would we be home by now

Have you ever heard about how when a person's in a maze
They will tend to walk in circles thinking they are going straight
They can't see the bigger picture so they get stuck in a loop
In the end I was afraid that that's what you and I would do

But I still
Have my moments
Where every reason
Feels a lot like an excuse
I wanna ask you

Would we have turned a corner if I had waited?
Do I need to lower my expectations?
If we'd kept heading the same direction
Would we be home by
Now I don't know if I'd been okay with
Holding out hope for your stack of rainchecks
If I had been able to grin and bear it
Would we be home by now

What is love supposed to feel like anyway?
Why is it so hot in LA
In late October?
Said I don't know if it's enough to make it last
You said if I even had to ask
You had your answer
But I still wonder

Would we have turned a corner if I had waited?
Do I need to lower my expectations?
If we'd kept heading the same direction
Would we be home by
Now I don't know if I'd been okay with
Holding out hope for your stack of rainchecks
If I had been able to grin and bear it
Would we be home by now
