I Will Take You Home

The longer you’re alive, the more you realize that everybody around you is as lost as you are. Finding someone who’ll get lost with you is only a difficult first step, picking a direction to go with them is the next.

Of course, your directions aren’t limited. You could move across the country, across the galaxy, to Madagascar… What I’ve discovered is that “home” isn’t a building, it’s where your center is. As for finding that center, well… I’m still working on that.

Lyrics:

If we leave this town tomorrow
will we crawl back again someday?
Are we starting an adventure
or are we just running away?
Is our love enough to hold us
through the darkness and the light?
Will we find ourselves together
or is this the big goodbye?CHORUS:
I see you staring down that road,
but you don't have to walk alone.
Shake that weight,
your heavy load won't break you–
let me take you home.
I will take you home.

Maybe we could find a reason
to forget the whole affair.
Heaven knows it would be safer
to pretend that we don't care.
If our love was all we needed,
would you sail away with me?
Just dip your toe into the water
or dive headfirst into the sea?(Chorus)I got this feeling
deep down in the marrow of my bones:
The stars are not our ceiling,
the sun is just an arrow pointing home.(Chorus x2)
