asteroid boy

Hey, buddy, I love you, I really do
It's been an awful long time
Since I've heard from you
I know you've been struggling
But without you
Not a day's been sunny
Not a sky's been blue

Whenever you're ready, the bed is made
And it's calling out your five letter name
Without you, I'm nothing but a vacancy
Asteroid boy, come back to me
Come back to me

And when you come back
I know that you'll be coming home
All that's left to do is hope
It's not too long a road

I didn't tell you I loved you
Didn't tell you you're safe
But I'll tell you now
Just in case it's not too late

Whenever you're ready, I'm here awake
Parsimonious mirror changed to prodigal ways
Without you, I'm nothing and I'm nobody
Asteroid boy, come back to me
Come back to me

You see miracles in moments
No one even seems to notice
But then you go home
And punch the glass out of your mirror

You're hope in a world that's hopeless
You're love in a world that's broken
If you didn't know, I just wanted to make that clear

God, you must be so exhausted
You found out just what it costs
To love all that you've lost
And never let them disappear

But you learned to clear your conscience
You are everything they're not
And you're allowed to live
Without the shame from all those years

And nobody loves life quite like you do
But I know that this life
Takes the life out of you
And I know that you're scared
And you're sad and alone
So come home now, honey
You need a home

And when you come back
Please know that you'll be coming home
I'll just trust in love and hope
That soon I will be whole

And when I come back
I know I'll find myself that home
