I miss you so God-damn much
With every wave a little more
The ocean tirelessly swallows up the shore
When you head out on your own
Like the wind circles the world keep coming home
Like a star across the sky
As a forest swiftly kindled by a fire
Hear the thunder as it comes and goes
Like the passing of a storm
Keep coming home, no matter where life takes you
If you throw everything you have to chance
Please know, we are all waiting for your return
Oh, drifter
Like a train that's heading west
Through those plains and cities never stop unless
You grow weary, though heaven knows you wont
When you hear the whistle blow, keep coming home
And when you reach the golden coast
You taste the salty air, and feel your soul
Like a cancer that's hollowing your bones
When your wandering takes its toll
Keep coming home, no matter where life takes you
If you throw everything you have to chance
Please know, we are all waiting for your return
Oh, drifter
My dear brother please don't cry
When death takes you like a deer in the headlights
When there's no fields left to roam
You regret the life you chose
Keep coming home, no matter where life takes you
If you throw everything you have to chance
Please know, we are all waiting for your return
Oh, drifter
Fill your mouth with rocks
When you are talking to the ocean
Paint a redwood ring around the moon
Every tiny star, to somewhere else is an explosion
You're crying in your oldest brother's room
I'm so sorry honey that when you needed me to pray
I couldn't find the words to say
It's just that I don't think he's up there listening
Flowers fill your mind
When you are bending over backwards
Trying to collect a skipping stone
Every passing stranger has some love that they are after
Sometimes I only feel that love when I'm alone
God now if you're up there
Why did his heart stop for no reason?
Couldn't you have stopped the bleeding?
If we're all just being used
What's the point of still believing?
