[Verse 1]
Been a long time, since I've been afraid of the dark
Ain't a big brick house, but it's a good place to start
Don't feel so lumpty, there on the phone
And your mamma says "I miss you"
That when it hits you; the most

[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn't wait to go
I couldn't wait to go

[Chorus]
Here I am
Looking life in the eye
And it's hard as I'm trying
It doesn't look the way it used to, used to
Here I am
Doing everything I ever wanted to but
It's gonna take some getting used to, used to
It's gonna take some getting, used to

[Verse 2]
What I wouln't give, for that 5-minute drive down to the beach
I'm still getting used to the way it rains in Tennesse
Still don't feel light, in the middle of the night
With the weight on my chest!
'Cause I know that I won't be waking up
In my west coast bed
[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn't wait to go
I couldn't wait to go

[Chorus]
Here I am
Looking life in the eye
And it's hard as I'm trying
It doesn't look the way it used to, used to
Here I am
Doing everything I ever wanted to but
It's gonna take some getting used to, used to
It's gonna take some getting, used to, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Woa-o-oh o-oh
Used to, used to, oh

[Bridge]
I couldn't wait to go
Now I know what I know
And I can't wait to go
Ba-a-ack home

[Chorus]
Here I am
Looking life in the eye
And it's hard as I'm trying
It doesn't look the way it used to, used to
Here I am
Doing everything I ever wanted to but
It's gonna take some getting used to, used to
It's gonna take some getting, used to
It's gonna take some getting, used to
