Transient (I Don’t Miss) Songtext
von Forever Came Calling

When your father died you were twenty-two
Finally taught you something after years of abuse
There truly are those debts that you can′t undo
Crying on your bed as you were salting the wound
An object of the sacrament, but most men think it's just a test
I think it′s time we finally come to see the truth
I get it now, where you been? I had guilt, you had other men
I guess we both measured ourselves to them

Home never was the same again
Of all the things I miss, yeah, you were one of them
Home never was the same again
Of all the things I said, it's what I always meant


I could preach to you now about honest men
I was seventeen and just a stupid kid
Knew nothing more than my sacraments
But even then, I'm still the best man you′ve ever met
That makes me sad for both of us, ain′t proud that you swore
I've tried to courage the must it took (Must it took)
So I got fucked for both of us, cried in my father′s truck
And you just said

Home never was the same again
Of all the things I miss, yeah, you were one of them
Home never was the same again
Of all the things I said, it's what I always meant

Makes me wish we never met, so damn hard to just forget
At one thought, we were alone together
You follow roads that you don′t know
Hoping that they'll guide you home

If what you want is a home, you′ll waste the time that you spent
It's not the places you found, but in the people you kept
And if you think you're alone, it′s just a turn of the head
If you′ve been here before, then you can beat this again

Home never was the same again
Of all the things I miss, yeah, you were one of them
Home never was the same again
Of all the things I said, it's what I always meant


Makes me wish we never met, so damn hard to just forget
At one thought, we were alone together
You follow roads that you don′t know
Hoping that they'll guide you home
