More Like Home

Those walls knew all of me and let me stay there anyway
That ceiling heard my teenage hurt when I would close my eyes and pray
Wore out those floors the night before the wildcats went to state
I always thought where I was raised would be my favorite place

But you feel more like freedom than bare feet in my backyard
You feel more like heaven than my bedroom window stars
I guess it doesn't matter if you can't go back again
'Cause you feel more like home
Than the house I grew up in

I sleep better in your arms than in my first twin bed
The blanket of your whispers calms the monsters in my head
Who I wanted to grow up to be is who I am with you
I thought that first time feeling was lost with my youth

But you feel more like freedom than bare feet in my backyard
You feel more like heaven than my bedroom window stars
And I guess it doesn't matter if you can't go back again
'Cause you feel more like home
Than the house I grew up in

When mom and dad sold that place
I swore I'd never forgive them
But I found out that home is more than just four walls you live in

'Cause you feel more like freedom than bare feet in my backyard
You feel more like heaven than my bedroom window stars
And I guess it doesn't matter that I can't go back again
'Cause you feel more like home
Than the house I grew up in
