And it came over me
Did it come over you?
The feeling we were late like we made a mistake
Or there was something we forgot to do?
Is it just me?
Have I been so cavalier?
Did I fuck up my life? Did I ruin the night?
Can I turn it around from here?
And in line with the horizon
I catch your eyes
And I can tell your heart's been spent
Though my back's to the wall
I'm not ready to go home yet
And yeah, you can tell the bar
They can keep my card
And ring out the whole night's check
'Cause I know they wanna close
I'm not ready to go home yet
ย
You were 17
Lit out from your parents' house
To the jungle of the street
Where the strangers meet
Where they look you in the mouth
And the words they came
And the words they went
Like they flew off of your tongue
Now you can't put your finger on it
And in line with horizon
I catch your eyes
And I can tell your heart's been spent
Though my back's to the wall
I'm not ready to go home yet
I was proud to live through it
I tried hard to prove it
And I wouldn't wanna do it again
I guess the kids are all grown
But I'm not ready to go home yet
I'm not ready to go home yet
ย
And it came over me
As a force of God
As if the bile in my mouth
Was forcing me to drown
In all that I am not
And would never be
Short of something quite profound
I guess the kids are all grown
Everybody's gone home
And we're the only ones left here now
And in line with horizon
It took me by surprise
When I saw it just as clear as it gets
How unceremonious
I guess we should've known
This would someday lead to regret
So I clung for dear life
To a dull spark of light
So sad sick and desperate
Screaming, "Leave me alone"
I'm not ready to go home yet
Oh, I'm not ready to go home yet
ย
Now the kids are all grown
But I'm not ready to go home yet
I'm not ready to go home yet
