Record Tracklist

  1. Coming Home -:-- / 4:38

The truck pulls away from the life we made
And with it all the roots out from the ground
But how could we have stayed?
We clearly heard our names carried on the wind over the sound
Tears tumble from my eyes and fall on cheeks turned up in a smile

It’s a hard goodbye and glad hello
It’s reaching out and letting go
Gaining a mountain in trade for the ocean
Holding all we were and all we’ll be
Looking behind and ahead to possibility
We’re always leaving and finding
And coming home
Coming home

The city recedes, along with a part of me
Roaming the streets I love, a heartbroken ghost
But there’s this open door, a dream we can’t ignore
Adventure doesn’t wait, you just have to go
Tears might dry up in the time it takes for you to drive over the state line

It’s a hard goodbye and glad hello
It’s reaching out and letting go
Gaining a mountain in trade for the ocean
Holding all we were and all we’ll be
Looking behind and ahead to possibility
We’re always leaving and finding
And coming home
We’re coming home

There is no coming without leaving
And without making there’s no finding
Some might say it’s all just dreaming
What if there’s no such thing as arriving?
If there’s no coming without leaving
And without making there’s no finding
I don’t care if it’s just dreaming
With you I’m leaving and finding
And coming home
Coming home
Coming home
Coming home
