 ...sleeping on  my side
I  finish kissing my dad
So  now I head back up the steps
Thinking  about where I've been
I  mean it's always never like this
I  wanna feel with the season
I  guess it makes sense
That  my life's become  as vapid  as
A  night out in  Los Angeles
And  I just wanna stay in  bed
I  hold you like I used  to
You  know that I am home
So  darling if you love  me
 Will you let me know?
Or  go on, go on, go on
 If you've been thinking that the worst  is yet to come
Why  am I the one
 Always packing  up my stuff?
For  once, for once, for once
 I get the feeling that I'm right  where I belong
Why  am I the one
 Always packing  up my stuff?
She's  got enough on her mind
That  she feels no sorrow
I  let my faith fill the air
Now  she's rolling down the window
Never  been one to hold on
But  I need a last breath
So  I ask if she  remembers  when
She  used to come  and visit
 Man, we were fools  to think  that nothing could  go wrong
Or  go on, go on, go on
 If you've been thinking that the worst  is yet to come
Why  am I the one
 Always packing  up my stuff?
For  once, for once, for once
 I get the feeling that I'm right  where I belong
Why  am I the one
 Always packing  up my stuff?
I  think I kind of like  it
 But I might  have had too much
 2.5x)
 I'll  move back down
 To this western  town
 When they find  me out
 Make no mistake  about it
 Why am I the one
 Always packing  up my stuff?
Go  on, go on, go on
 If you've been thinking that the worst  is yet to come
Why  am I the one
Always  packing up my stuff?
For  once, for once, for once
 I get the feeling that I'm right  where I belong
Why  am I the one
Always  packing up my stuff?
I  think I kind of like  it
 But I might  have had too much
 I'll move back down
