Heaven When We're Home

Lyrics

Don't know what time it is, I've been up
For way too long and I'm too tired to sleep
I call my mother on the phone
She wasn't home, and now I'm wandering the streets
I've been a fool, I've been cruel to myself
I've been hanging onto nothing
When nothing could be worse than hanging on
And something tells me
There must be something better than all this

I've fallen many times in love
And every time it's been with the wrong man
Still, I'm out there living
One day at a time and doing the best I can
'Cause we've all made mistakes that seem to lead us astray
But every time they helped to get us where we are today
And that's a good a place as any
And it's probably where we're best off anyway

Lyrics continue below...

And it's a long and rugged road
And we don't now where it's heading
But we know it's going to get us where we're going
And when we find what we're looking for
We'll drop these bags and search no more
'Cause it's going to feel like heaven when we're home
It's going to feel like heaven when we're home

There's no such thing as perfect
And if there is we'll find it when we're good and dead
Trust me I've been looking
But tonight I think I'll go and take a bath instead
And then maybe I'll walk a while
Feel the earth beneath me
They say if you start looking, it doesn't matter if you find it
And whose to say that even if I did
It's what I'm really looking for

And it's a long and rugged road
And we don't now where it's heading
But we know it's going to get us where we're going
And when we find what we're looking for
We'll drop these bags and search no more
'Cause it's going to feel like heaven when we're home

And it's a long and rugged road
And we don't now where it's heading
But we know it's going to get us where we're going
And when we find what we're looking for
We'll drop these bags and search no more
'Cause it's going to feel like heaven when we're home
It's going to feel like heaven when we're home
It's going to feel like heaven when we're home
