Lyrics Since You Left Home on Your Journey, Things Have Changed Around Here - Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

Since You Left Home on Your Journey, Things Have Changed Around Here

It was fall when we came back
From a failed transplant out in Southern California
I remember crossing the border to Michigan
And feeling my heart almost leap out of my chest
I was back home
I felt whole again
I turned to Cathy, and she was beaming too
We laughed and talked about how it was so true
That you can never really appreciate home
Until you truly leave it
And how looking for something and not finding it
Can sometimes lead you to finding out
That you’ve had it all along
