There's a woman I've known
for all of my life
she's an anchor
when all of your waves pass me by
but there's a bottle I drink
that makes me feel fine
and I'm watching my life pass me by
So even if I don't see
these pipe dreams come true
I hope that you know
that I was thinking of you
and as much as I wish
that I could do it alone
I can't
so that's why I'm coming home
There's a reason I stay
though I know damn well
that a city of angels can feel like a hell
but there's a savior I seek
somewhere in the sky
and I'll join him
or at least try
So even if I don't see
these pipe dreams come true
I hope that you know
that I was thinking of you
and as much as I wish
that I could do it alone
I can't
so that's why I'm coming home
