Lyrics
Verse 1:
You can’t find it on a map
Way back in the woods
It’s everything I knew
When I was just a girl
A bedroom with no door
And my own house in the trees
Everywhere I was
You were there with me
Chorus:
And I know I don’t belong here anymore
The kitchen’s bare, nothing on that hardwood floor
A million memories still hold you here
A whisper says you love me
Carried on the air when I come home
Verse 2:
Twenty years can change a lot
A new place built next door
But that treehouse in the back
It still has my name on the wall
Chorus:
And I know I don’t belong here anymore
The kitchen’s bare, nothing on that hardwood floor
A million memories still hold you here
A whisper says you love me
Carried on the air when I come home
Bridge:
Nothing feels more like mine
I’ve run these fields for my whole life
Dirt roads stained my feet and I can’t believe we had to leave
But I know you don’t hurt anymore
Thats worth the pain of moving forward
Chorus:
And I know I don’t belong here anymore
The kitchen’s bare, nothing on that hardwood floor
A million memories still hold you here
A whisper says you love me
Carried on the air when I come home
