Let Me Come Home

She said, "Boy, when you stare out the window
You're wasting away precious time
You can make wayward glances toward future romances
That's fine -- but I won't let you waste mine"

Well, her words sent my head into orbit
And her glare sent me into the night
I was lost in my youth, in my reckless pursuit
Of a dream that winked at me in the night

Let me come home, let me come home
I'm done chasing fireflies
Caught in a jar, they only lose their glow
My love, please let me come home

I thought I could have everything that I wanted
But didn't understand
I had more than enough to make me a man

For I wandered around in the weeds
'Til I realized how far I was gone
As a matter of fact, the one thing that lasted was real
Was there all along

Let me come home, let me come home
I'm done chasing fireflies
Caught in a jar, they only lose their glow
My love, please let me come home

For I wandered around in the weeds
'Til I realized how far I was gone
As a matter of fact, the one thing that lasted was real
Was there all along

Let me come home, let me come home
I'm done chasing fireflies
Caught in a jar, they only lose their glow
My love, please let me come home

Let me come home, let me come home (Home)
I'm done chasing fireflies (Fireflies, I'm done chasing, yeah)
Caught in a jar, they only lose their glow
My love, please let me come home
