Comin' Home - Toothpick

My brother said the highs ain’t that high the lows ain’t that low

My sail’s at half-mast but at least it still blows

I see the glass half empty, I’m flat broke

But it’s half full, I’ve got the punchlines but no jokes

I’m a bird without wings, a voice that can’t sing

Last man on the bench about to be the captain of the team

So let’s lean on each other like I lean on my brother

We both stare at the snow and daydream about summer

What’s the color of love, it’s the color of blood

My words sprung a leak slowly starting to flood

Now I shoot for the stars on the wings of a dove

But here come the dark clouds

So let the rain fall but I won’t stop

Let the wind blow me down, I get back up

Remember back in the day it was all love

Feels good to be home again, comin' home again

Take my tears but I still cry

You can shoot me down but I still fly

I took a long ride, now I know why

It feels good to be home again, comin' home again

Comin' home again

Now sister I need you, you need me

Now shh don’t be scared that’s how it’s supposed to be

It’s just people being people

Good versus evil is the division in life

'Cause we’re all created equal

And my humble army will rise from the ash

Darkness won’t last, yes this to shall pass

The nature of man is to not understand

And I can’t so I fly by the seat of my pants

And I land where I am just by chance

And soak up the indifference of those who have lost what was good

And I’m filled to the brim with the lessons of sin

Now here come the dark clouds

If you want to go back to the beginning

Then count me out, yellow sticky pad notes all around my house

Trying to remind myself about who I used to be

How I got away from that and now I’m free

It’s not supposed to be so difficult, it just is

So I look at my surroundings and check out who I’m with

And it should be all about friends but sometimes it’s not

And here come the dark clouds
