Coming Home for Summer

We started in October, drowned our sins in cold November rain
Thoughts all through December, prayed for snow to cover up the pain
Been so long under winter's night, waiting for the sun
Watching the horizon

Everybody's coming home for summer
But still feels a thousand miles away
What a feeling, taste the freedom there with every bite
Finally, we're coming home, oh, home

We shadow-boxed the enemy, swing until we extradite our fears
They're backed into a corner, I ring the bell, we shed our blood and tears
Like hibernating sun-rays, hoping for the sun
Watching the horizon

Everybody's coming home for summer
But still feels a thousand miles away
What a feeling (what a feeling), taste the freedom (freedom)
There with every bite, finally we're coming home

Oh, we suffered in silence, through storms
And through violence
We've stayed our way
Yet, the waves have subsided, the clouds have divided, and

I found a reason to survive, found the will to stay alive
That will be the last thing that we do
Heading for summer
Back home for summer

Everybody's coming home for summer (everybody)
But still feels a thousand miles away
What a feeling (what a feeling), taste the freedom (taste the freedom)
There with every bite

Finally, we're coming home (hm)
Oh, we're coming home (hm)
Oh, I'm coming home (hm)
