Home In A Life

I used to wait for the day
My mind wouldn't ache at the thought of being all by myself
Tempted to pull at a fate
Where I didn't say I wanted the arms of somebody else

You shook me out of my thoughts
And left me with soft kisses where my bruises lay
Being alone doesn't seem so bad
'Cause I know that you'll always have my hand in the end

Yours is the kiss I've been waiting for
And eyes that're more than just a mirror
Every day, my body decays more and more
And my broken hearts long to be near her
I fell apart on my own
Now I've found a life I can call my home

Down by the river I sat and I emptied my lungs
Took my shoes off and stuck out my feet to go numb
Stopped on my way to pick a few flowers
Let out a cry and lost track of the hours
Then woke up on my floor, my clothes drenched in sweat
The sound of your cries had not left my head
You're more than enough, just hold yourself up

I was born in the wrong skin, but when you hold me close
All my pieces fit together
And I could wonder where you've been when I needed you most
But you're one step ahead with forever
I'll hold your heart through the phone
'Cause yours is the life I can call my home
