[Verse 1]
If I say that I trust you
Does that make it true
If I say that I love you
Would you help me see it through
Well I live as if I know you
But who could ever really know
The depths of who you are could never
Fit into a human mold
[Pre-Chorus]
On my door you might knock
And the light be on
But I'll be gone
Running trying to keep my life my own
[Chorus]
I’m not always home
My old friends might tell you so
Like a train whistle that moans
There’s a hunger in my soul
[Verse 2]
Day by day I go on thinking
And trying to live just as I should
Somewhere in the empty spaces
Christian-ness isn’t what I thought it was
I hear your voice both stern and gentle
Take up your cross and follow me
It seems that knowing you is dying
And counting loss every other thing
[Pre-Chorus]
On my door you might knock
And the light be on
But I'll be gone
Running trying to keep my life my own
[Chorus]
I’m not always home
My old friends might tell you so
Like a train whistle that moans
There’s a hunger in my soul
[Verse 3]
In a mirror I dimly see you
And it leaves a tension in between
Wanting to know you as you know me
But here I only know a piece
Sometimes I’m gone cus’ I'm selfish
Afraid to lend you all of me
Other times I’m gone in search of lonely places
Somewhere you and I can meet
[Pre-Chorus 2]
On my door they might knock
And the light be on
But we'll be gone
Somewhere else you and me will walk along
[Chorus 2]
I’m not always home
My old friends might tell you so
Like a train whistle that moans
There’s a hunger in my soul
Like a train whistle that moans
There’s a hunger in my soul
I’m not always home
My old friends might tell you so
