I've seen your face before, I've known you all my life. And though it's new, your image cuts me like a knife. And now I'm home. And now I'm home. And now I'm home, to stay. The neon from your eyes is splashing into mine. It's so familiar in a way I can't define. And now I'm home. And now I'm home. And now I'm home, to stay. And though this is awful speedy, We needn't bother sleeping, All we might say is understood. And now I'm home. And now I'm home. And now I'm home, to stay. The fierceness of my feelings, Rocks me like a war. It's good to know we won't be strangers anymore. And now I'm home. And now I'm home. And now I'm home, to stay. And now I'm home. And now I'm home. And now I'm home, to stay.
