My dear, you know that you draw out the good in me
And there’s not a place in the world that I’d rather be
And that’s why it’s gonna sound mad, quite mad, when I say
It hurts me but I can’t go on living this way
Wind and waves and ocean currents
Try to drag me back to your shore
But I have set my anchor firmly
I’m not going back any more
You played out your purpose of drawing me out of my shell
But that’s as far as your purpose extends as far as I can tell
We talk from a distance, you seem pretty perfect to me
But I’m scared to get closer and view you differently
Angel, guardian, dear companion
I wish I didn’t have to go
But there’s a fact that’s driving me crazy
I think we already know
You don’t need me like I need you
Time to ditch this fantasy and face up to the fact that it’s true
I’m going home
I’m going home
I’m going home
I’m going home
Home….
