Life it comes in waves
we're unprepared
we can't escape
it's what we do with all these trials we face
i know i was wrong to let you leave
i wish i could help you see all the things i've seen

it's time that you come home
life it is not meant to live on your own

i know my pride was in the drivers seat
and i agree talk is cheap
let me show you how i've changed
there's not a valley too deep
nor a height i wouldn't climb
if i knew you were on the other side

it's time that you come home
life it is not meant to live on your own
and i've been thinking love is one of the few things that i'm sure of

now i can see everything so much more clearly
but tragically it took you leaving to see this clearly

then one day i heard the door
it was the one i'd been waiting for
how quickly life can turn
with a single tear streaming down
she didn't have to make a sound
this was her last goodbye

"this is not my home
yes it was once but that was years ago
and i've been thinking love is one of the few things i'm unsure of"

once a choice is made we can't go back
oh how i wish i could go back
show you who i am
