Song lyrics
I think I'm gonna stay home
Have myself a home life
Sitting in the slow-mo
And listening to the daylight

I am not a nomad
I am not a rocket man
I was born a house cat
By the slight of my mother's hand

I think I'm gonna stay home

CHORUS
I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I used to be in my M-Z now
You'll never find me cause my name isn't there

Home life
Been holding out for the home life
My whole life

I wanna see the end game
I wanna learn her last name
Finish on a Friday
And sit in traffic on the highway

See I refuse to believe
That my life's gonna be
Just some string of incompletes
Never to lead me to anything remotely close to a home life

Been holding out for a home life
My whole life

I can tell you this much, I will marry just once
And if it doesn't work out, give her half of my stuff
It's fine with me, we said eternity

And I will go to my grave with the love that I gave
Not just some melody line on a radio wave
It dissipates and soon evaporates
But home life doesn't change

CHORUS
I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I'd love to walk to where we both can talk but
But I've got to leave it cause my ride is here

Home life
You take the home life
You keep the home life
I'll come back for the home life I promise
Home life, I promise
Home life, home life, home life

such an amazing and powerful song, especailly 'I can tell you this much, I will mary just once and if it doesn't work out, give her half of my stuff. It's fine with me, we said eternity."

Another song someone like me can relate to. I think the song is about that feeling like it might be time to really settle down. You've done your partying and had your wild crazy sex. Now it's time to establish a home life where you can truly feel comfortable. I espically love the line "I will marry just once". Took the words right out of my mouth.
