So we've put an end to it this time. 
I'm no longer yours and you're no longer mine. 
You said this hill looks far too steep 
If I'm not even sure it's me you want to keep. 
And it's been ten days without you in my reach, 
And the only time I've touched you is in my sleep.

But time has changed nothing at all 
You're still the only one that feels like home. 
I've tried cutting the ropes and 
I let you go but you're still the only one 
That feels like home.

You won't talk me into it next time, 
If I'm going away your hearts coming too. 
'Cause I miss your hands I miss your face. 
When I get back let's disappear without a trace. 

'Cause it's been ten days without you in my reach, 
And the only time I've touched you is in my sleep.

But time has changed nothing at all
You're still the only one that feels like home. 
I've tried cutting the ropes, 
Tried letting go but you're still the only one 
That feels like home.

So tell me, did you really think
Oh tell me, did you really think 
I had gone when you couldn't see me anymore? 
When you couldn't

'Cause baby time has changed nothing at all
You're still the only one that feels like home. 
And I've tried cutting the ropes, 
I let you go but you're still the only one 
That feels like home, yeah, 
You're still the only one that feels like home, 
You're still the only one I've gotta love. 
Oh yeah
