"I'm Coming Home" lyrics

"I'm Coming Home"

I'm driving down these old dirt roads
I see the hills up on the right
White grass, artificial ski slope
I'm speeding by the east coast train line
I've got a friend talking on the phone
He said he'd help me pass the time
I'm where the humour is dry as a bone
But it rains here every night

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
To see the faces that I know
Been away for way too long, I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Where the trees always growin'
Wanna see where time has gone, I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
So put the kettle on the stove
Leave a light on so they know I'm coming home

I've got the wind in my sails
I've got the red in my cheeks
Cause I've been running from this place
Ever since seventeen

Cobbled streets
Evergreens
Castles and
Housing schemes
That whisky taste
Out till late
See that man
He's shitfaced

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
To see the faces that I know
Been away for way too long
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Where the trees always growin'
Wanna see where time has gone
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
So put the kettle on the stove
Leave a light on so they know
I'm coming home

Flashback, I'm seventeen
In the passenger seat
You roll the windows down
808s and heartbreak plays
Even in this small town
We still had the biggest dreams
I always wanted something more
I always wanted to be seen
Still got that northern blood
I've still got a sharp edged tongue
I hold it like a sword
So everyone knows where I'm from
You take for granted all the things
That one day will be gone
I should've for held on for dear life
When I was young
I walk through the trees
I see the green
I see the reservoir
I see the nights
I see the lights
I see my family fall apart
I know the leaving
Know the feelings
Know the seasons change
Things are different now
But I still feel the same

I've been around I've seen it all
There's nowhere else I'd rather go
So won't you let them know
I'm coming home

I'm coming home
I'm coming home

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
So put the kettle on the stove
Leave a light on so they know
I'm coming home

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
So put the kettle on the stove
Leave a light on so they know
I'm coming home
