Home Away from Home

Lights out over Portland
My life changed the day she came in
Lights out over Washington
A beauty that I can’t wait to see again
Lights out under a dead moon
I know it’s dark the light will come soon
Lights out and though I’m gone
I won’t say «goodbye» because that’s not what this is
I’ll be back for a name that beats in my chest
My chest is weighing me down
And I’m so scared of leaving
My heart knows what it wants
Want to or not… this is my home
Lights out from the front line
I was brave but so scared to die
Lights out for the last time
We found something here that they’ll never find
Lights out to keep you safe
Her embrace leaves me homesick
Lights out and though I’m gone
I won’t say «goodbye» because that’s not what this is
I’ll be back for a name that beats in my chest
(My chest… is weighing me down)
Please don’t forget me
Keep my memories
I know where my heart is
I’ll be back I promise
