Lyrics of 'Home' by Tall Ships

Hey, you're back again
I tried my best to pretend
That I was not waiting for your call
It was a pleasant surprise and that was all

So I got dressed up in my sunday best
But I wasn't prepared for the punch to my chest
When you walked in and I first saw your face
A familiar vision with a newfound grace

Then you ask how I've been
And I do the same
Though years have passed
It feels like nothing's changed

We all know nostalgia is toxic and dangerous
That it poisons the heart smothers and enslaves us

It's clear to the both of us
That something rare was lost
But what it is we can't define
These feelings though cloaked in dust
They never came to rust
Over the years and years of longing for you
'Cos your love took hold
A dead weight within my soul

You were the my other, my centre and my source
To see you with another would be the end of me or worse

It's clear to the both of us
That something rare was lost
But what it is we can't define
These feelings though cloaked in dust
They never came to rust
Over the years and years of longing for you
'Cos your love took hold
A dead weight within my soul

How the heart aches, the will breaks
Is it too late for one more take?
You felt like home, more than you know
Is it too late to let it show?

'Cos when it comes we are all defined
By whom we've loved and leave behind
So open up and let the love out
Make space to let in the life
That's passing you by
