Out of town

When asked if I am home
By those I don't wish to be around
I say that I'm about to leave
I say that i am about to leave
 somewhere I know they can't go
Due to the fact 
I also have no clue where it
Is that I am going 
or when I get there if I'll stay
So instead I say
 I'm out of town
Somewhere no one 
Would look for me
Or for who I was with
Because I'm with him
Him being the one
Who has shown me these new places
Where we have made 
many new memories
In every way possible 
He completes me
And it is him
That is the view 
From out of town
Because he is home
Away from home
When I am not there when 
Some one knocks
Or rings my doorbell
Or puts their ears up to hear
If anyone is there being silent
Is anyone there trying to be quiet
I am not home in my home
But I am home when
I’m With him
