about

This song was written to a loved one who let personal passions come between them and their family. From the perspective of the one feeling the most estranged.

lyrics

I'm watching from the outside, and I can no longer see.
Everything I thought I knew is crashing down on me.
Two facing, replacing everyone who needed you.
Look back, you'll remember: you needed me too.

What about our family values? Do you want to drive us out?
What are we to do without you? How can you just move on?

You chose yourself before the people next to you.
Who's inside? We're outside. Will you forget us too?
Holding on to hope we'll find the best in you.
Who's inside, we're outside. Right there in front of you.

I'd never close my door. I'd never run from my mistakes.
And all I want, is a place to call my own.
You watched your son move out.
You drove your family away, and when I look back now, I would never do the same.

What about our family values? Did you want to drive us out?
What are we to do without you? You never stopped to hear us out.
The walls fall back. The ground shakes, the structure cracks.
There's still time to drop your bags. We will always have you back.
