Hello world Hope you're listening Forgive me if I'm young For speaking out of turn There's someone I've been missing I think that they could be The better half of me They're in the in the wrong place trying to make it right But I'm tired of justifying So I say to you Come home Come home 'Cause I've been waiting for you For so long For so long And right now there's a war between the vanities But all I see is you and me The fight for you is all I've ever known So come home Oooh I get lost in the beauty Of everything I see The world ain't as half as bad As they paint it to be If all the sons If all the daughters Stopped to take it in Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin It might start now yeah Well maybe I'm just dreaming out loud Until then Come home Come home 'Cause I've been waiting for you For so long For so long And right now there's a war between the vanities But all I see is you and me The fight for you is all I've ever known So come home Oooh Everything I can't be Is everything you should be And that's why I need you here Everything I can't be Is everything you should be And that's why I need you here So hear this now Come home Come home 'Cause I've been waiting for you For so long For so long And right now there's a war between the vanities But all I see is you and me The fight for you is all I've ever known So come home Oooh
