Home, where you wanna be
'Neath the southern sky on summer's eve
For too soon the day will come
Before too long you'll walk in the sun
Where the olive branches bend like fingertips
And pollen fills the air with blue-bone honey drips
Just one breath away from being home
ย
Deep in the avalanche of hope and disbelief
Even your good friends may surprise you when they leave
There are no liters that could navigate these walls
No amount of sugar cane could satisfy it all
You can trust them all but be sure you cut the cards
Stay wide awake and snake across the boulevard
Just one breath away from being
Home, where you wanna be
'Neath the southern sky on summer's eve
Looking through these graves of wasted love
Washed on these riverbanks, spit out from the flood
Can feel like more than 1,000 needle tips all pointed up
Your punishment demands you stitch all your own cuts
You're just one breath away from being home
ย
Fear no gallows, fear no axe, fear no names
Cause they don't make statues for their kinds anyway
ย
Take a photograph as every moment creeps
Soon all these memories will be compressed to one
Just one breath away from being
Home, where you wanna be
'Neath the southern sky on summer's eve
For too soon the day will come
Before too long you'll walk in the sun
ย
Home, home, home, home
