Not Home Anymore Lyrics

I slept in our room
Nice wall
And I slept with our ghosts
Painting the walls
And our happiness hung there
Like a mistake or a light
Truly you are gone
Wandering helplessly now
(Ghosts painting the walls)
We are we are
You, you are gone
You, you are gone
You, you're gone
You, you're gone
You're gone

I left all the lights on
In our old room
To pretend that you and I were home
(waiting up somewhere for your boy)
(I'm not home)
I left all the lights on
(I'm not home. anymore)
You are still waiting up for me in our old room?
{you're not home anymore}

You, you are gone
Yeah you, you are gone
Yeah you, you are gone
Yeah you, you're gone
You're gone

No love in the ghosts that we are
No love ever lost any more
Still waiting up somewhere you are

You, you are gone
Yeah you, you are gone
Yeah you, you are gone
Yeah you, you are gone
Yeah you, you are gone

It used to mean a lot, mean a lot to me
Now it doesn't mean it doesn't mean a thing
It used to mean a lot, mean a lot to me
Now it doesn't mean, doesn't mean a thing
And I pretend that it meant a lot to me
But it never meant, never meant a thing
Used to mean a lot, mean a lot to me.
Now it doesn't mean...
Doesn't mean anything.

Whiskeytown was an alt-country band from Raleigh, North Carolina founded in 1994 and fronted by Ryan Adams along with violinist Caitlin Cary. The band produced a number of albums before ultimately parting ways in 2000.

Other members of the group included guitarists Mike Daly and Phil Wandscher, bassist Steve Grothmann and drummer Skillet Gilmore.

Adams and Cary have publicly talked of reuniting Whiskeytown on multiple occasions, as recently as 2005, but as of yet, nothing new has materialized. The two did perform together briefly, along with Skillet Gilmore, on June 8, 2005, in Raleigh.

Major recordings include:

Faithless Street (Mood Food, 1995) which was later reissued with additional tracks and a new mix.

Strangers Almanac (Outpost, 1997).

Pneumonia (Lost Highway, 2001) the band's swan song, which Adams labored over for two years before its release, by which time the group had split up.

The EP Rural Free Delivery (Mood Food, 1997) collects unreleased tracks from the early days and is apparently reviled by Adams.

Additionally, the band's music appears on various soundtracks and compilations. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
