Been feeling a bit out of place as of late

pulled in directions miles away

The show is a wrap as we say our goodbyes

I look at the porch so you can't see my eyes

But I'll never know the world till I see it on my own

How do you know if it's right to hold on or let go

How do you know when it's time to give in to the undertow

All the memories come flooding that's ok enjoy the show

How do you know?

Seven years later I'm yours and you're mine

Look at the things that we've built in our lives

Is home just a place that we miss or a moment suspended in time?

It could be energy or maybe gravity but something tells me we'll be fine

How do you know if it's right to hold on or let go

How do you know when it's time to give in to the undertow

All the memories come flooding that's ok enjoy the show

How do you know?

I can feel the red dirt shifting as my roots begin to show

And all the pressure of the ages shake my feet and earth below

Feels like sand between my fingers but I'm afraid to let it go

But the harder I hold on the more it flows

I can feel the red dirt shifting as my roots begin to show

And all the pressure of the ages shake my feet and earth below

As the Mighty Mississippi takes my hand and guides me home

Cause if my roots can't reach the water how am I supposed to grow?

How do you know if it's right to hold on or let go

How do you know when it's time to give in to the undertow

All the memories come flooding that's ok enjoy the show

How do you know?

(How do you know?) I can feel the red dirt shifting as my roots begin to show

(How do you know?) And all the pressure of the ages shake my feet and earth below

(How do you know?) As the Mighty Mississippi takes my hand and guides me home

How do you know?

When it's time to come home
