To Come Back Home Again
I know that I’m not done
Sailing on the ocean blue.
I know that I’m not done
Killing myself for you.
Our voyage brought us
To an island
That our maps didn’t show.
I stepped off the ship
And I saw your face
Among the merchants
And the public
I felt the rage
Boiling beneath my skin
And I tried to hold my tongue
And realized it wasn’t you
And I realized I still loved you.
And I realized I wasn’t ready.
