lyrics

I've stepped out of the shop for too long,
Weeds growing tall at the foot of our home.
And I know this is not an excuse to leave or let go,
I'm trying to learn and I'm trying to grow.

I know that it seems that I'm hiding from things,
Or I'm torn between the black and the blue.
But angels that sing keep pulling my strings,
And I'll be home to you.

I've lost a few bets in my time,
I've scaled a few walls and I've fallen during the climb.
And I know this is not an excuse so say I won't try,
I'm asking to live, I'm not asking to die.

I know that it seems I'm running from things,
But the past just won't mend any wounds.
And angels that sing keep pulling my strings,
And soon -

Lonely - why are we, why we get,
Lonely - say it's true, say you'll believe in me.
I'd believe anything to get me,
Home free - that's all I want, what I truly need.
But people keep pulling my strings.
Cut them loose, set me free.

Dust off my clothes and I'm gone.
I'm lost in a dream and I just can't move on,
Until I see that's it's real, I hear all the songs,
I learn how to play them and just sing along.

And if everything's fine, and you're on my mind,
And the window is letting light through,
Then angels that sing, keep pulling those strings.
So I'll be home to you.
