Come Back Home
Longing for Home: John Hiatt's Melodic Plea
Lyrics
You said you had to go and get your life together
You mentioned the need to sort out your life.
I didn't know you had to go it alone
I didn't realize you had to handle it by yourself.
I guess we all have dreams floating on feathers
Seems like everyone has aspirations that are fragile and easily disrupted.
I wish you'd come back home
I hope you return to our home.
Rugs pulled out and all the curtains have fallen
Everything familiar and comforting has abruptly vanished.
Been transported to the twilight zone
Feels like being in an inexplicable or surreal situation.
I don't even have a number I could be calling
I don't even possess a contact to reach out to you.
I wish you'd come back home
I hope you come back to our shared residence.
I wish you'd come back home, back where you belong
I long for your return to where you rightfully belong.
I know that you're out there, cold and hold up somewhere
I realize you're distant, enduring harsh conditions somewhere.
I take back every song, all that I've done wrong
I regret all my mistakes, including every song I've written.
I wish that you'd come home to me
I desire for you to come back to me.
Wish you'd come back home, back where you belong
Yearning for your return to where you rightfully belong.
I know that you're out there, cold and hold up somewhere
Understanding that you're enduring difficulties in isolation.
I take back every song, all that I've done wrong
Apologizing for all the wrongs I've committed.
I wish you'd come home to me
I hope you return to me.
Winter in my mind, my feelings all frozen
Emotionally feeling numb and distant, unable to express.
Still down Rebel's road and over the stones
Still on a challenging and rebellious path, facing obstacles.
Won't be long 'fore the highway start closing
Suggesting that time is running out before the way home closes.
I wish you'd come back home
I hope you return to our home.
I wish you'd come back home
Expressing the desire for your return.
Wish you'd come back home
Continuing the longing for your return.
I wish you'd come back home
I hope for your return to our home.
