Nowhere In The Neighborhood Lyrics - Singles - Everett Jace

Standin' here on this old familiar porch, 

I know this welcome mat ain't meant for me. 

I can't believe you even opened up the door: 

You always were much too kind to me. 

I don't know how I wound up here, 

I was nowhere in the neighborhood. 

In this house on this street, 

We had a chance to live a dream: 

I'd go back and get it right if I could. 

'Cause I was here but I was gone: 

How could I get so much so wrong? 

Now I know a home is more than bricks an' wood. 

There's so much of love I thought I understood, 

But I was nowhere in the neighborhood. 

I had everything a man could ever want, 

But still I was not satisfied. 

A fool would drink from some forbidden cup, 

Until he's drunk on his own lies. 

Yeah, I believed I could live two lives: 

I was nowhere in the neighborhood. 

In this house on this street, 

We had a chance to live a dream: 

I'd go back and get it right if I could. 

'Cause I was here but I was gone: 

How could I get so much so wrong? 

Now I know a home is more than bricks an' wood. 

There's so much of love I thought I understood, 

But I was nowhere in the neighborhood. 

'Cause I was here but I was gone: 

How could I get so much so wrong? 

Now I know a home is more than bricks an' wood. 

There's so much of love I thought I understood, 

Yeah, I was nowhere in the neighborhood. 

Nowhere in the neighborhood. 

No, no.
