When we were 17
And on cheap wine and stolen weed
And we'd get kicked outta' every place
We go we call it home
Then we were 23
And you told me you'd marry me
And I thought I'd never be alone
But you know you never know
Sleeping and waking up staring at me
But your gone now look around
I can barely breath
Still sleeping and waking up
Mattress on the floor
But we're not 17 no more
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go when you're gone?
Tell me how to get back
Tell me how to get back home
Where do I go?
Where do I go?
I didn't know you'd be gone
Tell me how to get back
Tell me how to get back home
Fast forward 26
And all this sex is meaningless
And I still wonder where'd you go
But I know I'll never know
Now I can't tell myself apart
I lost my mind and broke my heart
Cost me something beautiful
And I know you'll never know
Sleeping and waking up staring at me
But your gone now look around
I can barely breath
Still sleeping and waking up
Mattress on the floor
But we're not 17 no more
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go when you're gone?
Tell me how to get back
Tell me how to get back home
Where do I go?
Where do I go?
I didn't know you'd be gone
Tell me how to get back
Tell me how to get back home
Yeah
(Come back home)
Looking back 17
Was all that it was supposed to be
And always something beautiful
To know you'll never know
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go when you're gone?
Tell me how to get back
Tell me how to get back home
Where do I go?
Where do I go?
I didn't know you'd be gone
Tell me how to get back
Tell me how to get back home
Tell me how to get back
Tell me how to get back home
