  Summary

  Feels like I've been ready / For you to come home for so long
  That I didn't think to ask you / Where you'd gone, so why'd you go?

  You said my heart has changed and my soul has changed / And my heart, and my heart
  That my life has changed, that this town had changed / And you had not

  That the world has changed, don't you find it strange
  That you just went ahead and carried on?
