If you want this side of me
If you hope there’s more to see
You can’t wait, this time tomorrow
You’ll be still holding on, I guarantee.

Come taste the water, taste the day
I’m an ocean, you’re the bay.
It’s been said that I’m an outlaw
With too much time to steal away.

You know, you know that I could never change
They say, you say, there’s need to disarrange.
And all I hear are lies that re-appear
And despite all this you still want this side of me.

God give me peace,
God give me rest
I need time to re-assess.
You see I’m tired, but that’s life though
I still hold my convictions to the test.

You know…

What would you do differently
If only you could start things over?
Where would you go if you knew
They’d be there waiting for you?

I would go back home.
I would go back home.
Back where I belong Home forever long.

Where would you live once you’re done with
All those things you’ve ever dreamed of?
Would you head back in a heartbeat If you fell in love?

I would go back home… …Back where I am strong Back where I belong.

Would you still love me like you used to?
Would you still hold me as you used to do?
When I come home…

I would go back home…

Oh you might want to tell me if I’m wrong
You may wish to say before too long.
Save it till I’m done, cos’ you’re not the only one.
Oh everyone can tell me when I’m gone.

Oh you might hear of things you don’t agree
And you’ll form your own opinions about me.
Please save it till I’m done,
I can’t be the one they want.
Oh everyone can tell me when I’m gone.

Oh oh…

I took some time to wonder about life
I’d been hoping this year would turn out right.
You know there’s something more, yet you’ve seen this all before.
Maybe everyone will see this when I’m gone.

Oh oh…

It’s been a while since I last prayed to GodA departure from grace, I’d fallen hard.
With everything aside I really messed it up this time.
I hope everyone will save it till I’m done.

Oh oh…

I hope someday you’ll see I’m not who I used to be,
Then everyone can tell me when I’m gone

Take me back to the house where I grew up again
I remember every moment shared
Times, they change, but the walls remain the same
We were never frightened, cold or scared

Whatever happened to the pictures on the wall?
The scarf you made when the snow began to fall?
The pen marked doorway where the kids were growing tall?
We made this house a happy home

Take me back to the garden of those summer days
Dens to build and new places to hide
These are memories that make me smile always
You were fearless, I was by your side

Whatever happened to the clock that used to chime?
The creaky floorboards on the stairs we used to climb
I’d love to see us as we were just one more time
We made this house a happy home

Whatever happened to the markings on the tree
The summer stretching as far as we could see
I’d love to see us as we were just you and me
This house it was a happy home
This house it was a happy home

For all the times I stayed out late and left her waiting at homeFor all the times I didn’t answer my phoneFor all the instances I said I’d be better aloneI should’ve let her understand how I felt
I should’ve realised money isn’t how you measure your wealth
I didn’t know I needed nobody else 'cos I was out for myselfNow I’m in need of her help
But she took my advice and found somebody else
I should’ve made her feel specialShould’ve treated her betterThey say you’ll know the girl of your dreams when you get herI knew it was her the first time that I met herBut took her for granted and try to forget herI wish I would’ve told her in the very beginning
How glad I was to have her ‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘cos she made life worth livingIll always regret the fact that I didn’tGuess that’s what you get when you’ve kept your heart hidden
For all the lies I told for every time that I bent the truthIf I don’t care I can’t loseAnybody can lie but you can’t lie to yourselfYou can’t pretend you don’t care, they'd be able to tell
I should’ve told her she’s the one who made me stable myselfThe legs to my table as well
She’s the girl who promised heaven that I put through hell
The one I weren’t prepared to lose who didn’t know how I felt
I should’ve made her feel specialShould’ve treated her betterThey say you’ll know the girl of your dreams when you get herI knew it was her the first time that I met herBut took her for granted and try to forget herI wish I would’ve told her in the very beginning
How glad I was to have her ‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘cos she made life worth livingIll always regret the fact that I didn’tGuess that’s what you get when you’ve kept your heart hidden

She left before she’d even walked inShe must’ve seen that id been drinkingShe used to stand alone at the bar back thenIt’s good to understand who you are
She used to be the talk of the townI had her down as nobody’s clownYou’d question why she wasn’t with him, butShe weren’t the type you’d make wait around
You’d give a bit of somethingShe’d fill you up with nothing(And) somehow, you’d still feel you were freeShe’d let you fall in too deep
She made me in ways that others haven’tAnd played me, somehow while this happenedShe’d still save meCrying while I’m laughing again
She'd let you hang on every last wordAnd act as if it’s safe when it weren’tShe’d sit you at the front of the class andShe'd act like she’s surprised you ain’t passed
She'd give a little somethingAnd act as if it’s nothingAnd somehow you’d be happy it’s freeHow could it happen to me?
