Purples n' Oranges Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that we weren′t perfect
It wasn't always rainbows and butterflies
And unlike in the movies
It′s not that easy making up after fights

But somehow I won't have it any other way
I'd still choose you every single day
If you were still here that′s what I would′ve said

So can we go back
Cause I didn't know what I had till I lost it
I miss you so bad
I′m sorry if I ever took you for granted
Some say maybe better things are waiting on the other side
I don't care about all that, I just want you back in my life again
And when you come back ill be better I promise, I promise
If you′d please just come back home
Home, Home, Home
If you'd please just come back home
Home, Home, Home

And I know that it won′t be easy
But I'd be willing to try everything just to get you back
And things that used to be missing
I swear that I'll try my best so they′d never lack

Cause I didn′t realize what your worth
So I'd beg steal and barter just to get you back in my world oh

So can we go back
Cause I didn′t know what I had till I lost it
I miss you so bad
I'm sorry if I ever took you for granted
Some say maybe better things are waiting on the other side
I don′t care about all that, I just want you back in my life again
And when you come back ill be better I promise, I promise
If you'd please just come back home
Home, Home, Home
If you′d please just come back home

Home, Home, Home
If you'd please just come back home
