come home to you

there's a mad little kid at the top of the stair

and his eyes

they gather no lie

well

his mom and his dad

they're too high to care

and his cries drift off in the night

and i've been that kid

yeah it's true

and i've been both of those parents too

i'm ashamed when i lost my way

but i'd do anything just to come home to you

the twilight captures the sorrow of time

in between the life and the lived

i press on through the darkness so thoroughly blind

to a lie a new morning gives

and it sparkles like each new tomorrow

i crank up my last yesterday

tasted sweet joy and bittersweet sorrow

and i'd do anything just to come home to you

there's a meanness inside and it shivers my bones

that's the thing about mercy i guess

there's no man so wicked he cannot come home

nor so good he passes each test

as the fire of memories burn me

the grace of your love returns me

to this most traveled of highways

where i'd do anything just to come home to you

i would do anything just to come home to you
