lyrics

She wakes up in the afternoon
She wipes her eyes and wonders where she lost the moon
It left her here behind
She caught herself up in the changing tide, but
Wishes the water would set her down on the other side
But the ocean’s too hard to find

She tries to cross it all in one day
She doesn’t know there’s any other way

She looks down beside her and shakes her head
Alone again with someone else in a different bed
She wonders where she’s gone
The snow gathers quickly and under the gray
She steps in the footprints and thinks to herself she’ll be fine today
If she can find a little sun

She says, “We all die a little each day.”
Yeah, we all die a little each day

She says, “When are you coming home?”
She says, “When are you coming home?”
She says, “When are you coming home?”
She says, “When are you coming home?”

Somewhere between here and San Francisco
She opens her eyes and starts to cry, though
Anywhere else would be fine
After the hours have come and passed
She realizes now it’s all come on too fast
She’s walked too thin a line

She says, “I just wanted to have a little fun.”
But she’s one step closer to coming undone.

She takes to her feet and she turns around,
Looking to see if she’s walking over the same wet ground
She’s been here before
Her lips curl up and the snow comes down, but she’s
Moving fast to try to turn herself around
She stands at the door

She knocks and gives the doorbell a ring
And I can see her spreading her wings.

She says, “When are you coming home?”
She says, “When are you coming home?”
She says, “When are you coming home?”
And I say, “Here, you’re always at home.”
