come home to you

Lyrics

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
