Way Back Home
Denver Harbor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Asking for another day when you know it hurts
To tell you I just want to stay would be so much worse

And even though the sky is clear rain's still coming down
But I know that heaven is waiting for me
The next time I'm around

Wherever I go I'm taking you with me
Deep in my soul you always will be my way back home
You're my way back home

Waving as I pull away and you play your part
I'm taking all of this pain but I'll leave my heart

And even though the sky is clear rain's still coming down
But I know that heaven is waiting for me
The next time I'm around

Wherever I go I'm taking you with me
Deep in my soul you always will be my way back home
You're my way back home
Counting the days till we're together you have my heart
Now and forever you're my way back
You're my way back home again

Know that I'd give up everything
Just for another day here in your arms




Know that I'd give up everything
I'd give it all away just for another day
