"Bring Them Home" lyrics

My thoughts run streets I've never known in DC
Under the monuments of stone
Rattled and alone
They tangle themselves with strangers and ghosts

My thoughts cross seas and time zones on-screen
Over to Moscow and Beijing
Picking fights they cannot win
They give themselves to all for nothing

I wanna bring them home
To what I can touch and what I can move
I wanna bring them home
To what I can trust and what I can prove

I put the screen down, lay my head on the table
I'm alone inside this room
Being still, yet all too soon
They leave me here, they're back on the move

My thoughts like bees straying too far from the hive
Mapping chaos and despair
'Stead of foraging what's near
The sweetness, the good, the beauty right here

I wanna bring them home
To what I can touch and what I can move
I wanna bring them home
To what I can trust and what I can prove

I'll bring them home
To what I can love
I wanna bring them home
To what lifts me up

You can't put thoughts and feelings on a leash
You can't just ignore what you hear and what you see
I don't know how to hold on to reality
With all this madness coming at me

I wanna bring them home
To what I can touch and what I can move
I'm bringing my thoughts home
To what I can trust and what I can prove
