Come Home
Deadlines and Diamonds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who never talk,
Come back home
To the husband and the wife
Who are both at fault,
Come back home
Forget the past and start again
Face to face and make amends
Calling out around the world
Every heartbroken boy,
Every lonely girl
Take what's right
And forgive what's wrong
I'm calling all hearts
To come back home
From the single mom
Trying to make ends meet
Daddy come back home
From the parents of the child
Living out on the street
Baby come back home
Forget the past and start again
Face to face and make amends
Can I hear an Amen?
Can I hear an Amen?
To every soul
Who's lost their way,
Come back home
Yeah the wait is over,
Today's the day
Come back home
Come back home
Oh calling out around the world
Every heartbroken boy,
Every lonely girl
Take what's right
And forgive what's wrong
I'm calling all hearts,
I'm calling out around the world
Every heartbroken boy,
Every lonely girl
Take what's right
And forgive what's wrong
I'm calling all hearts to come back home
