[Chorus]
The hardest part of going home
Is facin' that you're gettin' older
And everything you've ever known is over, is over

[Post-Chorus]
Is over, is over

[Verse 1]
Down by the water
Where the auburn leaves were shinin'
Holding hands with my father
And I swear I saw him crying

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it's been so long
And the day's soon gone

[Chorus]
And the hardest part of going home
Is facin' that you're gettin' older
And everything you've ever known is over, hmm
And all the paths arе overgrown
The sun is down, it's gettin' coldеr
And everything you've ever known is over, is over
[Verse 2]
In your eyes, I see the fire
That so long ago was burnin'
Through our smiles, we try to hide it
All the years that we've been hurtin'

[Pre-Chorus]
We don't get too long
That's why I'm holdin' on

[Chorus]
And the hardest part of going home
Is facin' that you're gettin' older
Everything you've ever known is over, hmm
And all the paths are overgrown
The sun is down, it's gettin' colder
And everything you've ever known is over

[Bridge]
Is over, is over, is over
Is over, is over

[Chorus]
Yeah, the hardest part of going home
Is facin' that you're gettin' older
Everything you've ever known is over, is over
And all the paths are overgrown
Sun is down, it's getting colder
And everything you've ever known is over, is over
[Post-Chorus]
Is over, is over
