Five For Fighting Homecoming Lyrics

Homecoming Lyrics

In the morning light she laid there in the grass
She was till dressed in her
white homecoming gown
I helped her back to her room
She was cold against
my shoulder
I tried not to wake her up as I laid her down
Then I sat
there and watched her sleep for a while
I've admired her for so long from
far away
If I could hold her in my arms, then maybe she could love me,
If
I could only find the words that I want to say

Sullen like a dream that I
once had
Made me feel scared and lonely
She'll never know how she got
back
What her eyes had shown me
And I close the door and walk away
I
close the door and walk away...
But I want to stay...

The leaves
below my feet crumbled at my steps
And the sun has risen higher than it was
before
I step into my car and I drive for a while
I can't stand the same
scenery anymore

I stop along the bridge, and I close my earthly
eyes
And I wonder what this world can offer me
Cars they move below me
and I seem to realize, and I look
Up at the sky and call her
name.

Chorus
