Somewhere past the fields.
|
Past the reeds and evergreens she sleeps.
|
My bright eyed, holy child.
|
That dream of mine come to life.
|
My sad and sweet soulmate.
|
|
Mile after mile of crumbling roads spread across this nation just like veins.
|
They keep moving me through,
|
Keep pushing me away from her and towards lonely beds and long cold days.
|
|
And now I can see it.
|
Now I just know that I've pushed too much,
|
Held too much back.
|
I've been too much intact when I'm falling apart.
|
I need her now.
|
Need her more than anything.
|
|
I'll wait while hours pass like days.
|
Until I come home,
|
Until I can touch her face.
|
Until I can waste the days away in comfort and in solitude with her.
|
Safe and secure in our home.
|
|
And now I can see it.
|
Now I just know that I've pushed too much,
|
Held too much back.
|
I've been too much intact when I'm falling apart.
|
I need her now.
|
Need her more than anything.
|
|
And I tell myself "Soon you'll be back home"
|
And I tell myself "Soon you'll be back home"
|
"Soon you'll be back home"
|
"Soon you'll be back home"
|
"Soon you'll be back home"
|
"Soon you'll be back home"
|
"Soon you'll be back home"
|
|
And now I can see it.
|
Now I just know that I've pushed too much,
|
Held too much back.
|
I've been too much intact when I'm falling apart.
|
I need her now.
|
Need her more than anything.
