come home

it was just another bad fight
but then she looked into my eyes
she said it’s time to face the two of us
are living in a lie
whatever love that we once had
has long been washed away
the pain in her face told me
there was nothing left to say

i moved out into a condo
just outside of town
i’d stand in there and replay my whole life
and what went down
my son, he wouldn’t talk to me
when I’d call him on the phone
and then I got a text
and this is what he wrote

come home
you’ve got to find a way to work it through
come home
nothing in the world that i love more
than you

our problem wasn’t love
it was all the other things
it was managing the family
and the stress that money brings
it was the middle of one night
she was at my condo door
she said time had been a healer
that she never loved me more
she said…

come home
we’ve got to find a way to work it through
come home
nothing in the world that i love more
than you

i drove back with my wife
and I opened our front door
i looked inside our old house
and I never loved it more
i looked into my son’s room
and he was fast asleep
i kissed him on the forehead
and he looked up at me

you’re home
i’m home
you’re mom and i are going to work it through
i’m home, i’m home
nothing in the world that i love more
than you
