Story behind the song
It's about someone I know, but his life turned out a little better than this.
Lyrics
verse 1:
Still breaking in to get some cash
To buy the things you need.
Hoping you won't have to dash
Before you can succeed.
verse 2:
You're older now and have no one.
But long ago had me.
I guess that's why you asked me to come
And tell you what I see.
chorus:
Stealing home. What you gonna get
From stealing home? It hasn't helped you yet.
Stealing home. It doesn't fill the emptiness.
verse 3:
I knew you when you had no food.
No one to help you grow.
That might explain the attitude
And why you've got nowhere to go.
verse 4:
Coming from a broken home,
You wished it could be whole.
But you know that being on your own.
Gives you more control.
chorus
verse 5:
Stealing from the rich. So far
Things are all you've stolen.
Hating them for what they are.
Hoping to be one of them.
verse 6:
Long ago we were almost close,
But you've always pushed away.
The path of opportunity narrows
With each passing day.
