Broken But Home

(álbum: The Common Linnets - 2014)

This steering wheel's freezing, this road gets so lonesome
And I was just thinking of you and back home
I've forgotten my reasons for leaving

The radio station is fading and cracked
But I hear every song that makes me want you back
Like a tune, I could whistle and with luck undo these years

Got my heart on the wire,
Let these broken white lines bring me back to your arms
But it's still a long way, yeah it's such a long way

The way you confuse me, I treasure the taste
The way that you love with that smile on your face
Curled up in your sweater, took your coffee cup
You kiss me awake every time you wake up
There's a piece of my heart that you own, and it may be broken...
Broken but home [2x]

A whisper of you in the cold midnight air
And the arms of Orion are taking me there
Got the windows rolled down, to keep me from sleep

The salt on the road and the salt in my tears
Keeps me longing for you, like I've been longing for years. When I'm gone, you go with me

Got my heart on the wire,
Let these broken white lines bring me back to your arms
But it's still a long way, yeah it's such a long way

The way you confuse me, I treasure the taste
The way that you love with that smile on your face
Curled up in your sweater, took your coffee cup
You kiss me awake every time you wake up
There's a piece of my heart that you own, and it may be broken...
Broken but home [2x]

The way you confuse me, I treasure the taste
The way that you love with that smile on your face
Curled up in your sweater, took your coffee cup
You kiss me awake every time you wake up
There's a piece of my heart that you own [3x]
and it may be broken...
Broken but home [2x]
