Suitcase in my home

my suitcase still lies packed
in a room in a place that i stay
that others call my home
that i thought i wanted to be

these walls are familiar
the furniture is mine
but the neighbors are strangers
for we don't spend the time
home is where the heart -
you know how that goes
you're too far away
damnit this just

my suitcase still lies packed
in a room in a place that i stay
that others call my home
that i thought i wanted to be

this bed offers no rest
i can't sleep here anymore
feather pillows turned stone
now i'm trapped by this door
this isn't where i should be
you are where my heart is
a home turned to a hotel
everything changed with a kiss

my suitcase still lies packed
in a room in a place that i stay
waiting for you to call me
and remind me where i should be.
