Home Again

[Intro] We kept the clock on the shelf, I hear it sighs with the rain You left the door ajar to the future I can’t name [Verse 1] I wake to echoed footsteps in a house that learned your name Every corner wears your shadow, every window knows your flame I count the hours like stars I shouldn’t count at all One by one, the minutes fall, and I’m listening for your call [Chorus] If you came back tonight, would we mend what’s torn inside? Could the house become a home, with your laughter back in stride? I’m aching for your footprints to light the hallway once again Turn this empty room to where we begin, where you remain [Verse 2] Surprised by pain in the quiet, I didn’t see it till it grew The years stitched majority of pride with threads of me and you I keep your coffee cup half full, for rituals I can’t outgrow I whisper to the silent walls, “Please, tell me where you go.” [Chorus] If you came back tonight, would we mend what’s torn inside? Could the house become a home, with your laughter back in stride? I’m aching for your footprints to light the hallway once again Turn this empty room to where we begin, where you remain [Bridge] Maybe forgiveness travels slow like rain that clears the sky Maybe home is a harbor that waits, if we learn to try [Chorus] If you came back tonight, would we mend what’s torn inside? Could the house become a home, with your laughter back in stride? I’m aching for your footprints to light the hallway once again Turn this empty room to where we begin, where you remain [Outro] Until you return, I’ll count till dawn and hold the memory close Waiting for the echo of your steps to turn these rooms to home
