Coming Home

The Crash · The Selected Songs 1999-2005 LTD. [2005]

1.verse

She says: "Forget this terrible,

Terrible world around you

It takes you so far away from me

It's terribly terribly wrong

I need more to stay calm



chorus:

And there she is; sleeping her arms around my shirt

No way, no, nothing can beat this

And so, be it, may all the world envy, I'm coming home



2.verse

Oh, yeah, she'll get me over and over again,

Forever and ever

She knows and I know this

We know we should never apart

We need more, we need this



chorus:

And there she is sleeping her arms around my shirt

No way, no, nothing can beat this

And so, be it, may all the world envy, I'm coming home



bridge:

And I unlock the door with tired hands

And I am home now

I am whole now



chorus:

And there she is sleeping her arms around my shirt

No way, no, nothing can beat this

And so, be it, may all the world envy, I'm coming home

Tonight the heaven is down and I am home
