Come Home
Samiam Lyrics

I don't think I ever told you
I never expressed this to you

When cords and wires were the same
When everything seemed equal and simple

I set fire to the field
I defied your wishes and destroyed something important

Where you told me not to play
Where you forbade me to go

With a little girl named Amy
With a childhood friend of mine

And we just ran away
And escaped our troubles

I remember seeing a ladder
I recall seeing a means to a higher place

It reached up to the sky
It seemed to extend infinitely upwards

Along the side of our building
Beside our home

I didn't realize
I failed to comprehend

I'd climbed so high
I had risen so far

You were there to bring me down
You were the one who brought me back to reality

On radio corona
On the radio station referred to as corona

Singing with Charlie rich again
Performing alongside singer Charlie Rich

You hit every puddle
You drove recklessly, splashing water on everything

From here to San Rafael
Throughout the vicinity

You try to be happy
You make an effort to find joy

I like it when you call me pal
I appreciate the familiar terms of endearment used between us

I know you want to protect me
I understand your desire to keep me safe

Even when you don't know how
Even when it's difficult

I wish you knew how much I miss you
I regret how much I long for you

When you don't come home from work
When you're absent from the household due to occupation

I try to be a decent person
I attempt to act morally and responsibly

I want you to be proud
I hope to earn your admiration

Sometimes it's not so easy
At times it can be challenging

When you're not around
When you're out of my immediate reach
