You're the Reason I Come Home...


Watching you watching me 
A fine way to fall asleep 
The neighbors fight as we both rest our eyes 

Hands in the fallen snow 
Numb to the winter cold but we don't mind 'cause we'll get warm inside 

You're the reason I come home 
You're the reason I come home, my love 
You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart 
You're the reason I come home 

Paper doll silhouettes 
Fingertips on window glass 
The street's asleep so I breathe you in deep 
The tragedies of chemistry 
People dream of what you and me have found effortlessly 

You're the reason I come home 
You're the reason I come home, my love 
You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart 
You're the reason I come home 

And for a long time I remember saying prayers for something perfect 
Saying prayers for someone kind 
It's in my head 
We're spinning circles down the avenues instead 

You're the reason I come home 
You're the reason I come home, my love 
You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart 
You're the reason I come home
