Lyrics
Couldn't Come Home
Key turning in the lock
Wearing your old socks
Clothes piled upon the bed
Funny things you?ve said
Hand brushing back your hair .
Sitting in your favorite chair
Book dropped in your lap
As you take a little nap
What a warm and sunny day
What if the clouds came and turned it all to gray
Hand that I hold on walks
Voice that completes my thoughts
Dreams with you wrapped inside
Laughing so hard we cried
Shoulder that rests my head
Place where my heart gets fed
What would I do
If I couldn?t come home to you?
Plants that you love to grow
My secrets that you know
Note left beside the phone
Little smiles for me alone
Getting nervous when I drive
Keeping all those spiders alive
Mending you?ll never mend
Our stuff you love to lend
What a warm and sunny day
What if the clouds came and turned it all to gray
Hand that I hold on walks
Voice that completes my thoughts
Dreams with you wrapped inside
Laughing so hard we cried
Shoulder that rests my head
Place where my heart gets fed
What would I do
If I couldn?t come home to you?
Hand that I hold on walks
Voice that completes my thoughts
Dreams with you wrapped inside
Laughing so hard we cried
Shoulder that rests my head
Place where my heart gets fed
What would I do, what would I do
If I couldn?t come home to you?
Couldn?t come home, couldn?t come home to you
