It's been a while since I was seventeen again
And I was young in love whatnot
Something I knew much about, mm-hmm, yeah
But now I'm older, got myself thinking 'bout
what is love and loss
When it's hard it get too loud for me

And you called, and you called me yesterday, yeah, yeah
And I, heard you call, hear you callin'
back to me, yeah, hey-hey

When you come home, when you come home
I'll tell you all my stories, we can face the Sun
When you come home, when you come home
I'll be waitin' at your door, dear, ready to take you home
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ah, ah-ah, ooh-lay, lay, lay, lay, lay
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ah, ah-ah, ooh-lay, lay, lay, lay, lay

Yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm floatin' through the wind like I talk with leaves
I got up and got it, nobody told me: Leave
(nobody told me: Leave)
I took ignition with nobody permission
I had to risk it on a mission
tryna find a borderline ambition (ambition)
Got a wonderful voice but I always listen (listen)
I fly high in the sky got 20 20-twenty-twenty vision
I spread my wings real wide and caught the wind
I climb to the clouds, makin' calls to all my friends

And you called, and you called me yesterday, yeah, yeah
And I, heard you call, hear you callin' back to me
yeah, hey-hey

When you come home (when you come home)
When you come home (when you come home)
I'll tell you all my stories
we can face the Sun (we can face the Sun)
When you come home (when you come home)
When you come home (when you come home)
I'll be waitin' at your door, dear (waitin' at your door)
Ready to take you home (ready to take you home)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ah, ah-ah, ooh-lay, lay, lay, lay, lay
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ah, ah-ah, ooh-lay, lay, lay, lay, lay

The early bird gets the worm, I eat both
The Sun only seems to burn when I fly close
The humans only aim at me when I fly low
The snakes only smile at me when they get hungry
I can build a bridge through the leaves, winter's comin'
I'm flyin' through the trees in the breeze, wings humming
I don't have a single regret since I left the nest
It's just a couple of twists
it's just an empty head, right?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ah, ah-ah, ooh-lay, lay, yeah
