Always Coming Home

your words arrived, i counted five
cut like a knife my flesh and bone
when are you coming home
i'm always coming home

we stood outside, i squeezed you tight
the moon was bright, the wind was blowin'
when are you coming home
i'm always coming home

ya didn't look bruised, nah, just confused
but in your shoes, my shadows shown
when are you coming home
i'm always coming home

with nothing less than every breath
another step, a seed we've sown
when are you coming home
i'm always coming home

from the clouds in your eyes
i get the sense my reply's
not gonna satisfy you right now
you have swept every floor
you've checked each corner
you're sure
i am nowhere to be found
in that house
exactly when will i set foot
stay by your side forever
well, though i know
you don't believe me, yet
i swear i never left ya, never

so please dont build a wall or take the fault
or turn to salt or turn to stone
when are you coming home
i'm always coming home

when your doors are locked, when your chairs are rocked
when your beats have dropped, when your birds have flown
when are you coming home
i'm always coming home
