The Fastest Way Back Home Lyrics - Poetry Of The Deed - Frank Turner

I should have seen you were coming, I should have been prepared 

After all, getting half of what you wish for isn't so rare 

But still I wasn't ready, you took my by surprise 

You brought a light to my dark like a word from the wise 

We fell in love in the summer, when the skies were clear 

But I'm still wearing my coat from winter last year 

I need to set my house in order, confess and cover my sins 

I need to make a home for you before inviting you in 

Weather wears the mountains right down into the sea 

So I will stand in the rain until I am clean 

Rivers carve the country, a landscape shaped by a stream 

So I will swim in the river as long as you need
