"I think I'm gonna stay home
Have myself a home life
Sitting in the slow-mo
And listening to the daylight
I am not a nomad
I am not a rocket man
I was born a house cat
By the slight of my mother's hand
I think I'm gonna stay home
I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I used to be in my M-Z now
You'll never find me cause my name isn't there
Home life
Been holding out for a home life
My whole life
I want to see the end game
I want to learn her last name
Finish on a Friday
And sit in traffic on the highway
See, I refuse to believe
That my life's gonna be
Just some string of incompletes
Never to lead me to anything remotely close to home life
Been holding out for a home life
My whole life
I can tell you this much
I will marry just once
And if it doesn't work out
Give her half of my stuff
It's fine with me
We said eternity
And I will go to my grave
With the life that I gave
Not just some melody line
On a radio wave
It dissipates
And soon evaporates
But home life doesn't change
I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I'd love to walk to where we both can talk but
I've got to leave you cause my ride is here
Home life
You keep the home life
You take the home life
I'll come back for the home life
I promise"
-Home Life, John Mayer

Again, is this supposed to be describing some secret corner or reality???
Frankie's confused!!! :(
I like this song though... I like how he says he'll come back. It's very doubtful, but still a marvelous sentiment. Maybe that's what many of us think when we fall in love but we're still growing up eh?

Really, I just wish that the formating wouldn't be stupid and insist on using the "Huge" type size. I really don't want to actually have to type it out again. sigh.
Sparkala's confused, what do you mean by "secret corner"?

It seems like a song that you would not particularly "like" and/or find appealing. I'm wondering if this song appeals to a portion of your reality that at least I, if not almost the rest of the entire universe, isn't privy to. Is that a possibility?
