Prodigal Soul

AlphabetLyrics.com


The sun comes up alone
Like a funeral for my home
Like a mirror for my soul
But I should've known better
I was feeling like skin and bones
I kept chasing after these ghosts
I kept giving up on these hopes
When I found your letter.

I am yours and yours alone
Forgive me for my wandering on my own.

I'm a prodigal soul
And I want to come home
I can't make it alone
Won't you bring me home?

Tried to start on something new
Tried to blame myself on you
But my nightmares all came true
I felt so unsteady
I still see your face when I close my eyes and
I think about you wide awake at night and
How far do I have to go to realize
What I know already.

I am yours and yours alone
Forgive me for my wandering on my own.

I'm a prodigal soul
And I want to come home
I can't make it alone
Won't you bring me home?

I was running on empty
I was feeling so low
When you made me a promise
To never let me go
I was falling to pieces
When you carried me home
When you told me you loved me.

And my prodigal soul
And I want to come home
I can't make it alone
And I want to come home
Yeah, I want to come home.

I'm a prodigal soul
Yeah, but I'm coming home
I can't make, I can't make it alone, yeah...
And I want to come home, yeah...

In my dreams, all is forgiven
In my dreams, I'm by your side
But when I wake up something's missing
Can you free me from my prodigal soul?
Yeah, won't you bring me home?
