You Can Come Back Home

from You Can Come Back Home​-​-​EP by Quinn Erwin

lyrics

Grab my sleeves
Pull in deep
Take my keys
If you want to
Fake a kiss
Make a fist
Knock me out on the ground
If you want to
Go on break out
Go on leave this town
If you want to
Steal my cash
Use my gas
But I know you’ll figure it out, Honey

When everybody’s left you high and dry
No bottle will collect the tears you cry
When you’re misunderstood and you don’t know why
When you ain’t got a place to call your own
When you’re thumbing the wind
For the unknown
Baby you can always come back home

Boldface lie
Waste your time
Lose your mind
If you want to
Blame that girl
Blame the world
Blame anything else
If you want to
But when it’s all said and done
No place is gonna change who you are right now
So when you come to face the facts
I’ll be waiting on the other side of the tracks

Chorus

Instrumental

Chorus/Tag:

When there’s nowhere to run to but into yourself
When you’re tired of lying like everyone else
When the train tracks end and your wheels won’t spin


::THE STORY BEHIND "You Can Come Back Home"::

"I was listening to a lot of Pete Yorn when I wrote this song (one of my heroes) and thinking about the act of running away. To clarify, I was teaching ninth grade high school English, so I was mostly thinking about what my students were going through and how some of them might want to run away at times. This song is basically digging for the reasons and the messiness of that idea, and this is what I came up with."--Q
