"Homefires" lyrics

"Homefires"

I'm not the same man I was a while ago
I've learned some new things, I hope that it shows
I'm free to give my love
But you're not the one I'm thinking of
So for me, the wheels are turning
Got to keep the homefires burning

I walk these borders in search of a line
Between young lovers who live separate lives
How long does this go on? I can hear another song
Late at night when I've been thinking
Substitute comes at me winking
Oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh

I'm free to give my love
But you're not the one I'm thinking of
So for me, the wheels are turning
Gotta keep the homefires burning
