songs: Coming Home Soon

I wrote this song in Los Angeles outside of Stacy Jones' studio on Western just after a visit home to see my girlfriend during the recording of my debut album.

It's getting painful, now
It hurts to think about
Your smiling face
And breathing's just a luxury to me
I can't breathe deeply without you

I hope your friends will keep you safe
I hope you're happy and you'll think of me
While I'm away

[c]
You're too good to be out on your own
In the winter I know
You'll be freezing but I can't get home
And I'm as lonely as the light of the moon
I'll be thinking of you
I'm coming home soon.

I drove 12 hours straight
Just to meet you for a dinner date
But you couldn't make time to see me
I understand completely
You've got new friends now

I hope these friends will keep you safe
I hope you're happy and you'll think of me
While I'm away

[c]

My tears of joy flowed out to see you
Couldn't have stopped them if I had to
But you were colder than
The night that we were standing in
And that's when I knew
You were somewhere else...
