Hello world, hope you're listening   Forgive me if I?m young or speaking out of turn   But there?s someone I've been missing   And I think that they could be the better half of me      They?re in the wrong place tryin' to make it right   But I'm tired of justifying      So I say to you, come home, come home   'Cause I?ve been waiting for ya for so long, for so long   And right now there's a war between the vanities   But all I see is you and me   And the fight for you is all I've ever known   So come home      I get lost in the beauty of everything I see   The world ain?t half as bad as they paint it to be   If all the sons and all the daughters stop to take it in   Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin      It might start now, yeah   Or maybe I'm just dreaming out loud      But until then come home, come home   'Cause I?ve been waiting for ya for so long, for so long   And right now there's a war between the vanities   But all I see is you and me   And the fight for you is all I've ever known, ever known   So come home, ooh      Everything I can?t be is everything you should be   And that?s why I need you here   Everything I can?t be is everything you should be   And that?s why I need you here      So hear this now, come home, come home   'Cause I?ve been waiting for ya for so long, for so long   And right now there's a war between the vanities   But all I see is you and me   And the fight for you is all I've ever known, ever known   So come home, come home
