Come Home

Normally, the reason I love a song is because of the music... the melodies, the harmonies, the amazing drums, the beautiful piano... but today, for some reason, the lyrics somehow made it into my consciousness, and this specific song is almost EXACTLY what I am thinking, feeling, wanting to say at this moment. So thank you, Onerepublic, for recording some incredible lyrics.

"Come Home" by Onerepublic

Hello, world, hope you're listening.
Forgive me if I'm young
Or speaking out of turn.
There's someone I've been missing,
And I think that they could be the better half of me.

They're in the wrong place, trying to make it right,
But I'm tired of justifying.

So I say to you:
Come home, come home,
'Cause I've been waiting for you for so long, so long.
And right now there's a war between the vanities,
But all I see is you and me,
And the fight for you is all I've ever known, ever known,
So come home.

I get lost in the beauty of everything I see.
The world ain't half as bad as they paint it to be.
If all the sons, all the daughters stop to take it in,
Well, hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin.

It might start now, or maybe I'm just dreaming out loud.
Well, until then,

Come home, come home,
'Cause I've been waiting for you for so long, so long.
And right now there's a war between the vanities,
But all I see is you and me,
And the fight for you is all I've ever known, ever known,
So come home.

Everything I can't be is everything you should be,
And that's why I need you here.
Everything I can't be is everything you should be,
And that's why I need you here.

So hear this now:
Come home, come home,
'Cause I've been waiting for you for so long, so long,
And right now there's a war between the vanities,
But all I see is you and me,
And the fight for you is all I've ever known, ever known,
So come home, come home.
