lyrics

when i'm coming home
when all the houses glow
i think of you
and all the friends we knew
i wonder if they know
that I'm a long way from where I was going
just an everyday man
looking out for something
to help me see
some kind of nuance in love
or what it means to be
now i can't even cry
it's such a mess
I'll try to make amends
if it's in the cards, I guess
i can heal enough to reach the end
it's a mistake, i know
but it's the way life goes
and it's true i'm in love with you
and the things that you do
baby they're a part of who i wanted to know
i'm awaiting nothing
but i'd like to feel like something's gonna make a new thing happen
but it's never gonna happen so i'll go
i guess i'll walk around some more
time's a funny monkey
when you're spending your nights drunk and in the streets
that seem so lonely
i believe i might be lonely for you

(lyrics by Tobin J Stewart)
