Call Me Home - Sleepy Holler

I was born to run, but not down that road Sweetest sound took me away from you Oh oh, I was in you, your heart was in me We were lovers, babe, I believed We were in love, we were in line We were strong but we withered and died Now you're calling me, calling me home Pulling me out of the crowd Calling me, calling me home Out of my darkest hour Say it is time to come home We don't have to hurt no more You call me home You call me home You call me home You call me home You call me home A beautiful rose but it's under the aisle You're pulling a feeling, baby, I'll wait this time Oh oh, I was in you, your heart was in me We were lovers, babe I believed We were in love, we were in line We were strong but we withered and died Now you're calling me, calling me home Pulling me out of the crowd Calling me, calling me home Out of my darkest hour Say it is time to come home We don't have to hurt no more You call me home You call me home You call me home You call me home You call me home You call me home

When it all closed in around me, Everyone turned and ran The ones that loved me, And the ones I cared about Everything I had made, And all I'd built Came tumbling down, And left me with this guilt Everything was together, I swear it was the best But then the gaps turned into holes, And now there's nothing left Things I counted strong, Are now all gone So now I'm standing here in pieces, Don't know where I belong Friends have turned to enemies, That I still love But the looks they gave me, Seemed to hurt the most And I know I shouldn't care I always knew it would come to a close But another chance is all I ask Now I've built a life around you, I know where I call home It's not an empty place, It's filled with love And when things beging to break, I know you'll find me And you'll call me home Though I try, I know I'm nothing on my own Tears will break me, Fears will change me When there's nothing left unknown I know you'll call me home I know you'll call me home
