Come Home


I was browsing on iTunes yesterday and was previewing OneRepublic’s new CD, Dreaming Out Loud. I saw one song title that stuck out like a sore thumb. It’s called Come Home, and when I previewed it, tears came to my eyes. I immediately bought it and when I listened to the whole song, I began to sob. This song pretty much portrays every feeling and emotion that I have felt about Jordan since he has been gone. It’s such a beautiful song, and I wanted to share the lyrics with everyone!


Come Home

Hello world
Hope you're listening
Forgive me if I'm young
For speaking out of turn
There's someone I've been missing
I think that they could be
The better half of me
They're in their own place trying to make it right
But I'm tired of justifying
So I say you'll..


Come home
Come home
Cause I've been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
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 as half as bad
As they paint it to be
If all the sons
If all the daughters
Stopped to take it in
Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin
It might start now…Yeah
Well maybe I'm just dreaming out loud
Until then

Come home
Come home
Cause I've been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
The fight for you is all I've ever known
Ever known
So come home

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 you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
The fight for you is all I've ever known
Ever known
So come home
Come home

My sweet Lindsay, I know I can say I feel you pain but at the same time I know our pain is so different. I love you and like Christan said "hold on we have almost made it"
