If You Lived Here - The Tragically Hip

Rest a-here then yesterday

She’s kicking up some dust

Patience ain’t a virtue, babe

Patience is a must

A record of curt love letters

Find the writer’s words

She’s dares me on the telephone

She says, come on, baby, who’ll flare up first

If you lived here you’d be home by now

Anyhow, anyway

If you lived here you’d be home by now

Any day

Well, I’m never where my heart is

Even when I’m home

Well, not so much for the rambling

But is the feeling low?

Well, I’d light up for anything

Yeah, I’d light up all day

When I get my mind made up for me

If the sky’s in front of me, get out of my way

If you lived here you’d be home by now

Anyhow, anyway

If you lived here you’d be home by now

Any day

If all or some of my indecision, that’s what I felt

Put it in a corner stored with lies and guilt

I may remember my living in pain

Well, the roads have got us all wondering

What d’you think you’re gonna do

Where else you gonna go

I may not be the man you want

But I’m the only man you know

Well, she gathered up all her jack-o-lanterns

She took 'em on out to the woods

And she kicked in all the carved-out faces

Of our little neighbourhood

If you lived here you’d be home by now

Anyhow, anyway

If you lived here you’d be home by now

Any time, any day

If you lived here you’d be home by now

Anyhow, anyway

If you lived here you’d be home by now

Any time, any day
