I'm flying far away to be really free
tried hard to build myself independently
it's hard to always do what you expect from me
saying come home
come home

I try to understand why it hurts you
to see the difference in our points of view
don't blame me for a thing that I didn't do
saying come home
come home

it's insane
how feeling so much shame
will only bring you pain
and I no longer know how to explain
see I'm happy as can be
and you're my family, my ground
and I'm just hoping one day I will find you

you're holding back the tears when you kiss me
smile smile when I'm back again as you see me
when years are passing by and you miss me
you're saying come home
come home

such a shame
you're feeling so much blame
and yet I'm still the same
and I no longer know how to explain
see I'm grateful as can be
'cause you're my family, I'm bound
and I'm just hoping one day you will shine through

let's try to look at each other
find one another
asking how it can be
fighting and losing each other
thinking the other
is not so much like me
finding out all that we see
is just not always what is real

that you come home
come home
just come home
come home

my turn to understand what you lived through
today I only feel how I miss you
so it's only fair when it's hard to bear
and you ask if I, I try to come home
come home
