[Verse 1]:
Hello world, hope you're listening
Forgive me if I'm young or speaking out of turn
There's someone I've been missing
I think that they could be the better half of me

They're in their wrong place trying to make it right
But I'm tired of justifying
So I say you'll...

[Chorus]:
Come home, come home
'Cause I've been waiting for ya
For so long, for so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
And the fight for you is all I've ever known
So come home

Oooh, oooh

[Verse 2]:
I get lost in the beauty of everything I see
The world ain't as half as bad as they paint it to be
If all the sons, all the daughters stopped to take it in
Well, then hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin

It might start now, yeah
Well, maybe I'm just dreaming out loud
Until then...

[Chorus]:
Come home, come home
'Cause I've been waiting for ya
For so long, for so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
The fight for you is all I've ever known
Ever known
So come home

Oooh, oooh

[Interlude]:
Everything I can't be
Is everything you should be
And that's why I need you here
Everything I can't be (everything I can't be)
Is everything you should be (is everything you should be)
And that's why I need you here
So hear this now

[Chorus]:
Come home, come home
'Cause I've been waiting for ya
For so long, for so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
And the fight for you is all I've ever known
Ever known
So come... home

Come... home
Come home
Come home
I've been waiting for you
Come... home
